Description

Begging letter, prefaced with a rhyming poem, from Isaac the blind ("bereft of all the pleasures of the world"), asking for assistance from Ismaʿīl b. ʿAdāya. See also Goitein's note cards (attached and #27116). On verso is a fragment from a liturgical treatise in Judaeo-Arabic, discussing which blessings to say over drinks other than wine (either בורא פרי העץ or בורא פרי האדמה). Information from CUDL and Mediterranean Society, IV, p. 447.
