Description

Letter in elegant Arabic script. Fragment (right side of recto). Sent from Ramla (l. 2). The content is unclear, but the tone is deferential and the sender is evidently asking for a favor of some kind. Dating: Likely 11th century. On verso, apart from the address, are numerous jottings of different kinds in Hebrew and Judaeo-Arabic (including one calendrical that states that the sun was created in Nisan). Needs examination.
