Description

A letter in Ladino, possibly to Ya'aqov b. Habib, however, not the same person as the famous author of 'Ayn Ya'aqov. A Ya'aqov b. Habib is also mentioned in the Ladino letter 13J7.30. This letter is dated 1718 CE (15 Elul 5478 AM). The address is then somewhat confusing: "to the sages Alpalas y Sahalon (?), Mitzrayim." It also says "Zurich"(?) in latin characters along with the date (this word may be an odd rendering of the placename Livorno=Liornes/Liornese[?]). Needs further examination. See "Alpalas y Sahalon" tag for other documents from the same group. ASE. MCD.
