Description

Several fragments of a letter from Yefet b. Menashshe ha-Levi to his brother Ḥalfon b. Menashshe (fl. 1100–1138 CE). In Judaeo-Arabic. The middle pieces (T-S NS 342.21 + T-S NS 342.16) are definite joins, and the upper and lower pieces (T-S NS 342.22 and T-S NS 342.20 respectively are probably joins. Mentions oil for Dammūh; a mirror or a woman; Yosef Ibn al-Lādhiqī(?); and "the guest" (al-ḍayf) Faḍāʾil. Needs further examination.
