Description

India Book I, 13a: Letter fragment from Yosef b. David Lebdi to Abū ʿAlī Ḥasan b. Bundār, the representative of the merchants in Aden, written in the hand of Hillel b. Eli. The letter deals with the ongoing litigation between Yosef Lebdi and Yequtiʾel (named on recto). The verso contains a sort of summary of the content of the letter. This suggests that this fragment was a draft copy kept in the dossier in Fustat. Friedman proposes that the statement in line 3, 'they sent with me,' suggests that Lebdi carried with him goods sent by at least one other merchants besides Yequtiʾel. The join (T-S AS 153.160) includes the phrase "from Dahlak" in the first line. Joins: Alan Elbaum. Edition below is for JRL SERIES B 6028 only.
