Letter to a certain Shemuel. In Judaeo-Arabic, in a crude hand. Mentioning the currency nuṣṣ (= nuṣf, which generally refers to the muʾayyadi first coined in 1415 CE) and Ar. arsala for ‘to send’, thus dating to the 15th century or later (as opposed to Goitein who estimated 13th century). Containing many instructions about business transactions. (Information in part from CUDL; see also Goitein's index card.)
