Description

Verso (original use): Fragment of a letter in Arabic script to Abū l-Wafāʾ Tamīm al-Kohen. Dating: likely late 12th or early 13th century, based on the dating of recto. The sender complains that a certain woman went to the Rabbanites but had not received her share. It seems that the addressee himself was the person failing to do his duty. One line of the letter continues on verso. (Information in part from Goitein's index card.)
