Letter: Bodl. MS heb. d 66/23

Description

Letter from the cantor Musāfir b. Yosef ha-Bavli, in Alexandria, to his relative Yehuda the schoolteacher in the Iraqi synagogue of Fustat. Musāfir writes he had left Alexandria, where the family had fought with each other over a piece of bread and had lived in Fuwwa for a year. The situation was now better and he says he would assist the family in Fustat. This may be the reply to DK 315 (PGPID 30290). (Information from Goitein’s index card.)
