Description

Declaration against Qaraite tendencies, according to Goitein's index card. In Hebrew. Unusually large and beautiful script. The name of the ruler who sent the heads of the community approved by the Gaʾon appears in line 8 of verso and is vocalized as if a foreign name. (Goitein: "Spain? Hardly. For in l. 12, seems to say, "They excommunicated him and cursed him and banned him in the days of the holiday [of Sukkot].") (Information from Goitein's index card.)
