Description

Commercial letter, partly in Judaeo-Persian, partly in Arabic script. Well-preserved and clearly written; this is the right-half of the document. Lines 1, 15, 16, 18, and 21-24 on recto are in Arabic script, as are lines 19-31 on verso. Line 3 of recto mentions סנג מצר. The city of Shūshtar, in Iran, is mentioned twice: in line 8 of recto and in line 6 of verso. (Information from Goitein’s index card.) The letter is labeled "L12" in Shaul Shaked's (unpublished) classification of Early Judeo-Persian texts. OH
