Description

Letter from the ḥaver Yehoshuaʿ b. ʿEli al-Lādhiqī(?), in Jerusalem, to Abū l-ʿIzz(?) b. ʿEli Abū Manṣūr, in New Cairo. The letter consists of a Hebrew poetic panegyric, apparently to accompany the tzitzit (fringes) which the addressee had ordered from the sender (along with prayers on his behalf in Jerusalem). Written on 1 Tammuz. There are good wishes for recovery from illness (maybe the occasion for the order of tzitzit and prayers). On verso there are many other Arabic jottings.
