Description

A letter in Judaeo-Arabic from Alexandria. Mentions Avraham; Ibn ʿAllān; the trade in camphor (upper margin). It is quite faded. Needs further examination. "From the address it is possible to read that the recipient was Isḥāq b. ʿEli al-Majjānī. From the handwriting and the style of the beginning of the letter, it seems like the writer was Yosef b. Shemarya, a relative of Isḥāq b. ʿEli al-Majjānī. See ENA 2805.9." Information from Oded Zinger via FGP.
