Description

Fragment of a commercial letter in Judaeo-Arabic. Medieval-era. Very fragmentary. Refers to "going up" (al-ṭulūʿ); a gentile who must write to someone about something (wa-yaḥtāj al-goy yaktub ilayhi bi-dhālik fa-innī nantafiʿ bi-dhālik). There are jottings on verso, possibly accounts. Requires further examination.
