Description

Autograph letter from Maimonides to a judge. Dating: ca. 1168–1204, based on the years when Maimonides was active in Egypt. The addressee is asked to mediate between the bearer Abū l-Fakhr and his legal opponent Abū l-Maḥāsin. If he is unable to do that, he should at least make one of them take an oath that he has no property 'neither here nor anywhere else.' (Information from CUDL and Friedman, Dictionary, 75, 116–17, 141, 165.)
