Description

Minute fragment in Hebrew, exact genre unclear due to damage (perhaps halakhic). Dating is 17th-century or later based on the paleography. There is very little text to work with but this text is significant for its direct reference to "Old Cairo" (...שהיה במצרים הישנה...) l. 10 on the right side. The "name of Maimonides" is referenced two lines later (על שם הרמב׳׳ם ז׳׳ל). Jerusalem is mentioned in l. 5 on the left side of the paper's fold. MCD.
