Description

Recto: Business/family letter in Hebrew. Dating: Perhaps 16th century or later. The sender mentions someone named Meʾir סאול . . ., and greets his mother. Verso: List of goods in Hebrew script in a mix of a Romance language (perhaps simply Spanish) and some Arabic; e.g., nuez (walnut), jonjolí (sesame), Persian pepper (filfil ʿajamī), mastic, oregano (אוריגאנו). Merits further examination.
