Description

Informal note from Yehuda b. Ṭuviyyahu, presumably in Bilbays, to a certain Sheʾerit, who may also be called Ṣāliḥ, and who is probably a cantor, presumably in Fustat. In Judaeo-Arabic, with the address in both Judaeo-Arabic and Arabic script. On recto there is a piyyut for Shabbat Vayigash that seems to be copied in Yehuda's hand. On verso there is Yehuda's note: "Forgive the slave. He only neglected the sending(?) of this on account of his many worries. Please judge him favorably." ASE
