Description

Upper part of a letter in Hebrew dated 534[.] = 1580s CE. It is addressed to "my brother who is like my soul" and mentions the writer's arrival in Alexandria from Cairo, and, later, "I will pay you when you come to Jerusalem." The document was then reused, recto and verso both, for accounts, perhaps communal donations.
