Description

Mercantile letter in Judaeo-Arabic. Damaged and faded. Giving various instructions about what to buy. The sender reports receiving the addressee's letter with news of the death of Abū l-ʿAlāʾ.

On verso mentions Tamīm; 'my brothers'; someone's business partner possibly named Bū l-Surūr (בלסרור) ha-Kohen. May also refer to a piece of ambergris (אלקטעה אלענבר). AA/ASE
