Description

Letter, c. mid-16th century, from Avraham Sagish, in Jerusalem, to Yosef Qorqos, who is normally resident in Jerusalem but is currently visiting Egypt, regarding the distribution of funds sent to Jerusalem by various Egyptian donors, including the dignitary Shelomo al-Ashqar. That amount also included support for the Ashkenazi yeshiva and the recipient’s own yeshiva, both in Jerusalem. Mentions David Zulati, Yaʿaqov Galican, Yaʿaqov Hami, Yehuda, Avraham, and Mordekhay. (Information from CUDL) The sender's name אברה]ם סאגיש is filled in by Avraham David in his edition, but it's worth noting that the word סאגיש looks much more like סעיד.
