Description

Letter fragment in Judaeo-Arabic. Probably concerning the book trade. The sender asks for a certain maqāma to be sent to him (for copying?); mentions the books of Yeshaʿya ha-Levi ("al-Shaykh al-Sadīd"), which the sender apparently sent to R. Yehuda ("al-ḥaver al-jalīl"). Dating: 12th or 13th century. The scribe writes מתל as מתתל. (Information in part from CUDL)
