Description

Two small fragments from business letters. Unclear if they are a join or not. Probably in the hand of Yefet b. Menashshe ha-Levi. It is worth noting the term [tashtarī] bi-mā qasama Alāhu wa-razaqa , literally ‘purchase for whatever price God apportions and grants as a livelihood (and send it). On this term see India Traders, p. 63-64. AA
