Letter: T-S K8.101

Description

Verso: Letter of condolence in partially rhymed Hebrew. Mentions a Shelomo. Full of interesting phrases ("he lay for many days, and on that day he rode a cloud..."). Someone has tweaked the terms of relationship and pronouns, e.g., writing "my son" above "my father" or replacing "groom" with "elder"—probably tailoring the template for different contexts of bereavement. On recto there is an Arabic document (see separate record).
