Description

Letter fragment in Judaeo-Arabic. Sefaradi-influenced hand. Dating: likely 12th century. Mentions not being able to send something until now; a letter for Ibn S[...]; possibly a small synagogue (though looks more like כנינסה), someone titled Tāj al-Mulk wa-Fakhruhā, someone called al-ḥaver al-jalīl, and someone called al-talmid al-nabīl Yosef b. Barakāt(?). Needs further examination
