Description

Letter in Judaeo-Arabic, probably of a Maghribī trader of the 11th century. The last three lines are in a different ink and different hand. The sender opens with sympathy for a distressing event. On verso, mentions the departure of a boat (iqlāʿ hādhihi l-qārib) and names such as Abū Zikrī and Abū l-Faraj.
