Description

Letter. In Judaeo-Arabic. The writer reports on attending synagogue on Shabbat and hearing the end of the Torah reading, and then the congregation began reading Lamentations. When they reached the second chapter (איכה יעיב באפו), the writer tried to pull up a chair to see better, which caused a scuffle involving Ibn al-Maghribī and Ḥayyūn and Makārim b. al-[...]. Two more people are mentioned later on: [...] al-Qāhirī and Ibn al-ʿAnbarī. Someone said, "You don't know how to recite! Give me the muṣḥaf." The fragment becomes damaged and difficult to read around here, but it seems everyone made peace (wa-baʿd iṣṭalaḥū wa-ṣallaynā). On verso, there are many greetings: to the venerable father, to the mother Sitt R[ayḥān?], al-Shaykh al-Sadīd Abū Zikrī and the ṣaghīra. The writer may be Shelomo b. Eliyyahu, or at least someone of the family. ASE.
