Description

Letter from a certain Yūsuf, in an unknown location, to Abū Isḥāq and Abū [Rabī?]ʿ, in Fustat, behind the mosque. The letter is in Judaeo-Arabic and the address in in Arabic. The letter consists entirely of expressions of longing and the "spiritual and physical pains" afflicting Yūsuf ever since the departure of the addressees. He concludes, "Do not rebuke me for writing these letters, for my mind is preoccupied and the messenger was in a hurry." ASE.
