Description

Cryptic document in Judaeo-Arabic. Possibly a letter or fragments of two letters. Discusses liturgy and the reading of the Torah. Mentions asking R. Seʿadya b. Elʿazar ha-Levi to look after the addressee. Upside down, at a 45 degree angle, in a different hand, there is a date (493[.] AM, which is 1170s CE) and a typical ending of a letter ("do not blame me for what I've written").
