Description

Letter from a certain Yehuda to a certain Elʿazar ("the Prince"). In Hebrew. Dating: Probably 15th–18th century, and this could likely be narrowed. The sender offers copious excuses about various things, makes learned references, and talks about books (e.g., the tractate Bava Meṣiʿa). At the bottom, at 180 degrees, there is a line of poetry about souls being bound together. Needs further examination.
