Description

A folio possibly from the same original work as Or. 5554B.12, though the subject matter appears different. Recto: possibly the conclusion of a form of a letter for asking for financial assistance for places of worship. But this is very tentative - it needs further examination. It concludes, "for the Jews have hayakil, the Christians have kana'is, and the Muslims have manabir." It then switches into a passage attributed to Hunayn b. Ishaq about Aristotle and Plato and the King פסטאנס who hired them to tutor his son פסטאפורט. ASE.
