Description

Fragment of a letter from someone to his 'father', sending regards for the holidays and inquiring about small transactions in garments. The writer sends regards to Abū l-Ḥasan and his mother and sister, and to Sitt al-Gharb and her children. On verso he asks the addressee to give to Abū Saʿīd Ibn al-Qaṭāʾif (=Ḥalfon b. Menashshe, fl. 1100–1138) the cotton thawb and the fur garment (farw) that he had requested to be sent to him on recto. T-S NS J533 and Moss. II,176.2 appear to be in the same hand and to be related: each includes the identical phrase "אלתוב אלקטן ואלפרו מע."
