Description

Informal note from Shelomo b. Eliyyahu to a certain Ibrāhīm. Written once in Judaeo-Arabic and repeated in Arabic script. He asks Ibrāhīm to meet him urgently the next day. He gives a location in the Arabic-script version (fī al-kanā'is?). Of note, he signs his name in both Hebrew and Arabic script (Ibn al-Dayyān and Abū l-Barakāt respectively). This should be useful in identifying Arabic-script documents written in Shelomo's hand (such as ENA 3927.1). On verso there are pen trials (haqeṣ ʿaṣel..).
