Description

Letter in Arabic script from [...] al-Ḥazzān, in Damascus, to Abū l-Faraj Yashūʿ (?) b. Barhūn al-Ḥibr (= the ḥaver). Dated: Tuesday, 10 Shaʿbān (year not given). Mentions "the brother, my master, Raʾs al-Kull" (line 5) and contains a few words in Hebrew including "his enemies" (line 10). Much of the letter seems to be devoted to mediating a conflict between the Raʾs al-Kull and the addressee. Needs further examination. The paper was later reused for a halakhic text in Hebrew and Aramaic. Information in part from Goitein's note card. ASE.
