Description

Letter, fragmentary, in formal Arabic script, including the line, "I am to you like a son and you are to me like a father." Needs further examination. Reused on recto for Judaeo-Arabic astronomical treatise (the handwriting of which is very similar to that of Shemuel b. Saʿadya ha-Levi (active 1165–1203), though the alefs seem different).
