Description

Letter in Judaeo-Arabic. Dating: probably 13th century, based on hand, formulae, and layout. Addressed to a physician (al-ḥakīm). Contains prolonged blessings and praises, hopes that God will remove a cause of discord, and curses upon sinners and enemies. The substance of the leter is missing; this was probably a very tall letter originally. On verso there are Arabic writing exercises. (Information in part from CUDL)
