Description

Letter from Shemuel Skandari. In Hebrew. Dating: No earlier than 14th century. Preceded by a decorated ב״ה. The writer addresses his older brother (אל אחי אשר כנפשי) either as גביר or אדון. It mostly concerns news about family and acquaintances (for instance that ʿOvadya has recovered from his illness and 'entered the bathhouse' (נכנס למרחץ), and Shelomo Kohen has had a son). The abbreviation תל (‘thanks be to God’) is often used, unmarked. (Information from CUDL and Goitein's index card.)
