Description

Recto: Upper right corner of a letter in Judaeo-Arabic, probably addressed to Bū l-Futuḥ. Needs examination for content. Verso: Letter from a certain Futūḥ, likely a response to recto. Written informally on a torn scrap of paper, but the layout and language are formal and petition-like. He provides an explanation involving a prior promise about a copy of raḥamim (liturgical poems). Mentions someone called al-Makīn. Dating: Probably late 12th or early 13th century.
