Description

Recto: Legal query addressed to Avraham Maimuni Nagid, though, it should be noted that he is not named directly among the many honorific titles. Written by Shelomo b. Elya. In Judaeo-Arabic. Concerning Levi who gave Yaaqov a copy of Ketuvim ("muṣḥaf ketiv") to be sold in an auction on an agreed price. Verso: Informal note addressed to R. Mikha'el. In Judaeo-Arabic. Inviting him to lead the prayer tomorrow, Thursday, because the writer plans to copy 'the ḥibbur', that is Maimonides' Mishne Torah. (AA)
