Description

Letter from Avraham Ḥazzan. In Judaeo-Arabic. Written in a distinctive, rudimentary hand with some resemblance to T-S 12.271 but probably not the same scribe. The opening blessings are also distinctive (e.g., ואותק דוי ודי... אלנגיב אלמולוד... and then curses on צאלמין אלפאצלין). The sender seems to be requesting wine to revive his spirits, even if just a few ounces (margin, ll.1–2).
