Description

Bilingual writing exercises in Judaeo-Arabic and Ladino. Dating is likely late 18th to 19th-century based on the paleography. There are many early modern writing exercises in this genre but this fragment is one of the largest with eight contiguous sections– four per language. It provides helpful insight of how a student learned to write business letters, following their instructor's model handwriting. MCD.
