Description

Recto: Two fragments of a letter in Judaeo-Arabic. Likely sent to Avraham Maimonides. Contains a tantalizing glimpse of drama: "'I said to her, 'I heard that you made up with [...] and that you intend to get married.' She said, 'Yes.' I said to her, 'How?! You claimed that the girl is your child from Ibrāhīm.' She responded and said, 'It's as if you doubt that the girl [...] that it is done."
