Description

Letter in Judaeo-Arabic. Fragment (bottom half). The hand may be known. Dating: likely 12th century. Mentions the difficulties of the time, a single dirham, and mostly contains greetings. The sender reminds the addressee 'to obtain a kitāb' concerning the shop, for the year is ending and perhaps the sender will be able to relieve himself of duties and come to Fustat. Regards to Abū l-Ḥasan b. Abū l-Mufaḍḍal.
