Description

Letter from Menashshe the Alexandrian teacher to (Saʿd al-Mulk) Elʿazar b. Yehuda ha-Kohen. In Hebrew and Judaeo-Arabic, in a very flowery style. Dating: Late 12th century. The sender requests help in his rivalry with another teacher by asking the addressee to intervene with his father to put a stop to the actions of a judge, whom he accuses of making parents transfer boys from his to the rival’s school. Same sender and same addressee as T-S 12.425. See also T-S 13J33.3. (Information from CUDL and Goitein's index card.)
