Description

Draft of a begging letter regarding some commercial and apparently personal relationship. A certain Abū l-Maʿānī is mentioned (the sender wants his payments for his services to be delivered each week via Abū l-Maʿānī). A man with this name is familiar from Avraham Maimonides' time, from Alexandria. Verso: draft of opening lines of same document. Both sides are written by Berakhot b. Shemuel who was active in Alexandria during the last decades of the 12th century until 1213.
