Description

Letter in Judaeo-Arabic. Dating: ca. 13th century. Addressed to a certain Yeshuʿa. From a man who had ordered for a young boy (likely his son) a handsome copy of the Pentateuch for 45 dirhams, but who has returned it to Abū l-Waḥsh, as it is too small and the letters too minute for the boy to read. (Information from CUDL and Goitein's index card.)
