Description

Letter or petition from a group of people in Fustat. Headed by a biblical verse, then the rest is in Judaeo-Arabic. "We the undersigned of this document (hādha l-manshūr) who live in Fustat... our knowledge that the worship of God the exalted in the... Israel in what happened before... and it came about (?? nusija) from us—due to our great sins—... the action, and we found in it readiness (? taʾahhub) and demoralization (? inkisār qalb)." Might be a draft, since it does not appear to continue underneath this line. The content is intriguing but the context and dating are unclear.
