Description

Letter to a brother. In Judaeo-Arabic, with phonetic orthography (Goitein: "very low class"). Dating: likely 11th century. Repeatedly reminding the addressee to send various items of clothing (malḥafa, jubba, jubayba) and rebuking him for his long absence and failure to send the goods. Mentions the addressee's mother and Abū l-Ḥasan in the greeting section. On verso there is a commentary on BT Qiddushin 26a and a general explanation of mathematical matters.
