Letter: Bodl. MS heb. b 11/19

Description

Letter from Khalaf b. Yiṣḥaq to Abū ʿImrān Mūsā b. Ṣedaqa Ibn Nufayʿ. In Judaeo-Arabic. The sender sent previous letters with Sālim b. Efrayim, including a power of attorney for the collection of goods shipped with Tamīm. If a certain commodity has been 'liberated' from ʿAydhāb, he has sent (or will send?) wax and Indian costus. Abū ʿUmar should sell these items in Egypt, purchase linseed oil and wheat, and send them to Khalaf (in Yemen). Mentions Karīm Ibn [Yi]ju(?) the tax farmer; Abū l-Maʿālī al-Qaysarānī; Aḥmad b. Ghūrī(?). See Goitein's attached notes for a transcription.
