Description

Complete letter in Arabic script, with a single phrase in Hebrew (وحق אנא השם). Dating: Likely Ayyubid-era based on the layout and handwriting. Addressed to the weavers' market (? sūq al-mighzal) to [...] Ibn al-Bayṭār al-Ghuzūlī al-Yahūdī. The sender swears by the Torah several times (ووحق التوراة). Needs further examination.
