Description

Business letter, fragment. In Judaeo-Arabic. Dating: Probably 11th or 12th century. The writer crossed out the first three lines (following the Arabic-script basmala) and began anew. This may be a draft. There are several lines of Arabic script on verso that do not appear to be an address. Perhaps an account?
