Description

Letter in Judaeo-Arabic. Very faded. The addressee's name appears on verso, perhaps something like Yiṣḥaq b. Maṣliaḥ b. Bahlūl. Dating: 11th or 12th century. The letter is written in an elevated register and is very deferential, but the subject matter is not clear. A certain Yosef is mentioned.
