Description

Letter in the hand of Mevorakh b. Natan addressed to a dignitary named ʿAzaryahu. (For the addressee, cf. T-S 8J19.8 + CUL Add.3342.) Recto consists entirely of praises in eloquent Hebrew. Verso contains the body of the letter in Judaeo-Arabic. Much of it is missing, but it mentions a court case; an issue with the government; Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur; someone "who does not go out or come into the house," i.e., is on the run and hiding in the house; and Manṣūr sending someone after him. The sender asks for a little food. Regards to Barakāt; Sitt Wudūd (or Nudūd?). Joins: Oded Zinger and Alan Elbaum.
