Description

Letter to the Nagid (or at least to a dignitary titled [...] ha-Yeshiva, probably the same Yaḥyā ha-Sar named in line 7). The sender asks for help on behalf of a woman. He describes her circumstances and meager resources and then refers to Rabbenu Moshe and a public collection (jibāya). May mention Peraḥ[ya] in the margin. Reused on verso for Arabic poems, including one referring to colors and stones. In the hand of Mevorakh b. Natan (identified by Oded Zinger). (Information in part from CUDL.)
