Description

Several fragments of a letter in Judaeo-Arabic with wide line spacing. In the hand of Mevorakh b. Natan? Refers to Abū l-Ḥasan the 'elder of the congregations' with several honorifics and mentioning some gossip (rekhilut). Has some resemblances to BL OR 5533.1, T-S 12.238, and T-S 16.9. T-S AS 153.115 mentions someone titled החכם המעולה אב החכמה, likely the judge Efrayim b. Meshullam (see T-S 16.9, line 10). On the other side there is a commentary or grammatical treatise, with biblical citations such as Deuteronomy 30:14, Isaiah 51:4–6, and Proverbs 12:19. (Information in part from CUDL.) Joins: Alan Elbaum.
