Description

Recto: Blessings for notables, perhaps to be read aloud in the synagogue. In Hebrew. For the Nagid Mevorakh b. Seʿadya, his son Seʿadya, Netanel b. Yefet (ZL), and Abū Naṣr and his son Abū Saʿīd. Verso and margins of recto: Letter in Judaeo-Arabic. Appear to be in the same hand as the blessings on recto. Asks the addressee to purchase something; mentions Abū l-Barakāt and [Abū] l-Maʿālī; mentions, obscurely, 'what you mentioned about' the Priestly Blessing at the time of the taking out of the Torah scrolls on Shabbat and holidays; then mentions the taking out of 40 Torah scrolls, and reports that on one day 40 Torah scrolls were taken out in honor of the Nagid Mevorakh b. Seʿadya. Information from Goitein's note cards and Cohen, Jewish Self-Government, pp. 128, 146, 149, and 268.
