Description

Letter from Yehuda b. Ṭuviyyahu ha-Kohen to the two brothers Avraham and Yiṣḥaq/Isḥāq Ibn al-Ḥakīm ("the physician"). Identification of the sender based on his distinctive handwriting. The first part of the letter consists of greetings and blessings. Then Yehuda informs the brothers that he had sent with Asad, the bearer of the letter, 25 dirhams and asks them to buy him with it yarn (ghazl) "because the children are naked." On the back there is an account in Arabic script mentioning flax, yarn, a kerchief, and weights and prices.
