Description

Two unrelated fragments. Fol. 1: Fragment (upper right corner) of a mercantile letter in Judaeo-Arabic. Dating: likely 12th century, and the hand is reminiscent of some of the India traders. Mentions a period of 10 days, a boat and everyone in it, and pressing something for someone. The margin text may be in a different hand than the letter itself. AA
