IB IV, 18 (ח3). Letter from Yosef Ibn al-Lukhṭūsh, in Granada, to Ḥalfon b. Netanʾel ha-Levi, in Fustat. […] The letter contains the only nearly explicit evidence thus known that Ḥalfon traveled to al-Andalus before 1130, but Friedman cautions that the reading of the date isn't entirely certain, and it may have been written in 1140. Ibn al-Lukhṭūsh asks Ḥalfon to write to him about his experiences in detail from the time he left al-Andalus until his arrival in Egypt.

The recto has been identified as a responsum, whereas the verso is a short note to Abu al-Ḥasan (or Abu-l-Hakan), requesting him to give the bearer wine. […] The subject of the responsum on the recto seems to be wine and wine selling, which makes this a interesting case of paper reuse: the main subject of both the older and the newer documents is wine. It is also possible that the shaykh, mentioned in the verso of the document, is the same Abu al-Ḥasan as in fragments Moss.

Fragment of a letter (written by Ṣedaqa Nes), to the head of the exile, Natan ha-Kohen Sholal (d. 1502) in Cairo (the penultimate Nagid), concerning a fraudulent cheese seller who was fined by Yosef ha-Nagid, a predecessor of Natan, for selling non-kosher cheese as if it was kosher.

Inferred date
1138–1139 CE
Primary language
Judaeo-Arabic
Yiṣḥaq might be from the Ibn al-Fakhr family. Mentions his sorrow over Ḥalfon's illness, which he read about in Ḥalfon's previous letter, and wishes him a full recovery. Apologizes for not being able to write in an eloquent style like Ḥalfon’s, quoting 1 Samuel 17:10, a motif that repeats in several of the letters from al-Andalus. The writer asks for assistance and sends blessings Ibn Migash, his son Meʾir, his brother's son Meʾir, Yaʿqūb and the rest of the 'brothers'. The writer's brother also sends greetings to Ḥalfon; it is possible that he is the author of ח43.
