Description

Acknowledgment of a debt. Between Sedaqa b. Yosef and Yeshuʿa b. Hannaya. Signed by Elʿazar b. Yosef and the parnas ʿOvadya b. Shabbetay. Dated: Last decade of Ḥeshvan (year missing). There is Arabic script in the margins and a few words above the signature, and verso is filled with Arabic script (basmalas and various drafts—needs further examination). The lines in the margin of recto contain a basmala and the name of the writer: min hadhayān ('from the raving of??') Abū Manṣūr b. Yehuda, who calls himself al-Mutaṭabbib on verso), and at 180 degrees and upside down there is a blessing (for the caliph?), ṣalawāt allāh wa-barakātuhu wa-nawāmī zakawātihi wa-afḍal al-salām. Cf. the same language in T-S 20.32r (petition draft from Hibatallāh b. Abū Manṣūr to al-Ḥākim), cited in Rustow, Lost Archive, p. 468 note 15.
