Description

Letter in the hand of Berakhot b. Shemuel. In Judaeo-Arabic (with some Hebrew). After 49 lines of praises, he thankfully acknowledges the receipt of a robe (thawb). However, he is not sure whether it was a loan or a gift. If it is a gift, he cannot accept it, as he made an oath to that effect in a previous letter. (Information in part from Goitein's index card.) On verso there is also a poem of Shelomo ha-Qaṭan (=Shelomo Ibn Gabirol), in the same hand. (Information from CUDL.)
