Description

Formal letter in Arabic script. Dating: Maybe Mamluk-era, but this is a guess. Wide space between the lines. Difficult to understand the content. There is a note in the margin that gives some names: Dāʾūd b. Salma; Zayn; Mūsā [...]. On verso there is vocalized Hebrew literary text in an unusual hand. Needs further examination.
