Description

Letter from the office of the Nagid David II b. Yehoshuaʿ II Maimonides (in office ca. 1355–1410) addressed to the congregation of Fustat. The Nagid's full genealogy is given. This is not a “farewell letter” (apparently it has been published as such) but rather a note of congratulation. Still, the occasion of the letter is not exactly clear. (Information in part from Goitein’s index card)
