Description

Note from Ḥalfon b. Menashshe (ca. 1100–38 CE) to 'my master the diadem (al-Nezer).' He needs to write a validation for a legal document and therefore needs to know the proper honorifics (וכיף יכון אלכיבוד) for Yosef b. ʿAṭṭāf, Elʿazar b. Avraham ha-Kohen, and Saʿadya b. Natan. Underneath the answers are provided. Cf. T-S NS 190.105 (PGPID 23842). Join: Alan Elbaum.
