Description

Autograph order in the hand of Avraham Maimonides. In Judaeo-Arabic. Abū l-Majd is to give 1 dirham to the messenger who went up to New Cairo to take care of the business with the supervisor from the inheritance bureau (nāẓir al-mawārīth). Cf. T-S K25.240.42. On recto there are a few words from a state document in Arabic script. T-S K25.240 consists of small written orders, partly in Hebrew and partly in Arabic script, for monthly payments, made out of the rent-revenue from the pious foundation (waqf) 'Compound of the Poor' or from the pious foundation made by the physician al-Muhadhdhab. All dated orders are from spring and summer, 1218.
