Description

Letter from Moshe b. Abudarham, probably in Rashid, to an unknown addressee. In Hebrew. Dating: Second half of the 16th century, based on Avraham David's assessment. The writer's son-in-law bought a 'tower' in Alexandria, and the writer plans to move in with him. He wishes to leave Rashid in part because "it is a waystation and people from Fustat are always passing through." Information from Avraham David via FGP. Watermarked paper, according to the Gottheil-Worrell catalogue.
