Description

Letter in the hand of Ḥalfon b. Menashshe (Date: 1100-1138). In Judaeo-Arabic. The sender has sent the two documents (kitābayn) concerning the consignment of musk as well as the document attesting that Abū l-Barakāt owes 250 dinars, all with the orphan (al-yetom) who is with him. The sender asks for money relating to a business arrangement, referring to a promise made by the addressee earlier. The letter concludes with the motto ישע רב, ‘a great salvation’.
