Description

Letter from Yehuda b. Ṭuviyyahu ha-Kohen, in Bilbays to Berakhot ha-Sar, presumably in Fustat. The subject matter is cryptic; Yehuda assures the addressee that he is fulfilling his promise. He excuses the lack of a letter by saying there was no messenger, but then he found the addressee's brother outside of the Muslim court (dār al-qāḍī) one morning with a riding beast, so he asked him to wait until he could scrawl this note. On verso there are two legal queries in a different hand.
