Description

Letter from Bayān to his 'father' Abū l-Fakhr. In Judaeo-Arabic. Dating: Probably 12th or 13th century. The sender reminds the addressee that he had promised to pay Abū Saʿd the money owed, paying a portion with Bayān's money and dealing with the rest himself. But Abū Saʿd sent Bayān a letter complaining that he has only received 30 nuqra dirhams. The lower part of the document is missing. On verso there is the Friday night kiddush in calligraphic Hebrew.
