Description

The beginning of a letter from Moshe b. Yehuda, the cantor, to the Nagid, Shemuel b. Hananya (1141-1159). Moshe b. Yehuda is probably Moshe b. Yehuda who signed T-S 16.151 in 1130 as a teacher ('ha-Melammed') and in 1141 signed ENA 2558.3 as cantor; for teachers serving as both scribes and cantors see Goitein, Med. Soc. vol. 2, p. 189 and p. 560. The same attributes for Shemuel b. Hananya are found in T-S 13J3.4 and Bodl. MS heb. a 3/5. The verso is blank.
