Description

Communal letter(s) or possibly responsa in Judaeo-Arabic. Dating: Perhaps 13th century. There are two different handwritings. Both the upper and the lower text blocks seem to be issuing instructions and include the wish that God will make the end good (wa-l-Ḥaqq taʿālā yajʿal al-ʿāqiba le-shalom). The lower one refers to "the collector" (al-jābī) collecting payments of 10 dirhams. Needs further examination.
