Description

One of two manuscripts of ben Meir's first letter regarding the calendar controversy of 921/22 CE. (The other one is ENA 2556.2 + Bodl. Heb. f. 26/1-6.) Writes from Palestine to Baghdad. Of this manuscript of ben Meir’s First Letter, only two folios have been preserved: T-S 8K8 and T-S 8K7 (consecutively, and in this order). Stern suggests that there are 6 other, missing folios, in this manuscript (Stern, pp. 268 –278).
