Description

State correspondence in Arabic script. The beginnings of 13 lines are preserved. May involve a tax farm (ḍamān) and includes the dates Ṣafar 439 AH and Rabīʿ I 440 AH. Mentions "al-miʿdiyya": a raft or a pontoon bridge (Agius, Classic Ships of Islam pp. 376–77 citing Ibn Baṭṭūṭa), and also mentions a "jisr", a dyke or a bridge. Needs examination. Reused on recto for piyyuṭim. The piyyuṭim include the end of a yoṣer, שמעת שאגת by Shemuel ‘the Third’ b. Hoshaʿna, another with only the partial heading לאיכה ז״ל […], a yoṣer for the Sabbath, with the partial heading ‫[…‬ מ‫]‬בורך ז״ל, and two yoṣerot on דברי, the second of which is headed אחר לדברי and begins דברי אמרי עניניהם. (Information on recto from CUDL.)
