Description

Two fragments of a letter of appeal for charity, in Judaeo-Arabic, in the hand of Berakhot b. Shemuel. Quotes biblical verses and includes a prayer in passing for the coming of the Messiah (ha-melekh ha-mashiaḥ, the anointed king). Very deferential and asking for help, including a letter on his behalf to al-Shaykh al-Sadīd Abū l-Faraj Kātib al-ʿArab. (Information in part from CUDL.) Join: Alan Elbaum
