Description

Letter addressed to a community. In Hebrew and Aramaic. Dating: Probably 11th century. The addressees are instructed to honor, assist, and raise money for (or hire as a communal official?) a certain person (presumably the bearer). The letter refers to (purchasing?) a work on slaughter by Yosef b. Ḥizqiyya (the 11th-century Nasi). On verso there is Psalm 91 and a jotting in Judaeo-Arabic that says "Umm Yūsuf and her sister." AA. ASE.
