Description

Draft of a letter written either by Avraham Maimonides or his son David I Maimonides (their hands are almost identical). The fact that the opening phrase (גרץ תסטירהא etc.) is identical to that of T-S 16.343 (PGPID 7489) may tilt the probability in favor of David being the writer. The letter is probably addressed to a physician known as al-Rashīd ("al-ḥaḍra... al-ḥakīmiyya al-rashīdiyya..."). It concerns al-Shaykh al-Thiqa Hiba, perhaps Hibat[allāh b. Abū] l-Faraj. The draft is repeated on verso. AA. ASE.
