Letter: Bodl. MS heb. d 75/16

Letter Bodl. MS heb. d 75/16

Description

Mercantile letter addressed to Abū Saʿd Khalaf (possibly Abū Saʿd Khalaf b. Salāma, the same addressee as T-S 8J16.19 + T-S NS 323.13, though the scribe is different, since the Arabic accounts look quite similar). In Judaeo-Arabic. Dating: 11th century. Long, and full of details about trade. Mentions the arrival of goods from the West (waṣala min al-gharb...). Note that the small slip containing the beginning of the letter (on recto) and the address (on verso) has been joined incorrectly. Reused for Arabic accounts.
