9453LetterT-S AS 151.286
Document date
1086–1147 CE
Primary languages
Hebrew, Judaeo-Arabic
Letter fragment on parchment. Probably a letter of appeal for assistance, written in a flowery style in a mixture of Hebrew and Judaeo-Arabic. Most of the preserved text consists of blessings for the community to which the letter is addressed, potentially Latakia in Syria (לאתקיאיה in l. 7, an unusual spelling but the letters are clear). […] It seems also to refer to "Alfonso"—presumably either Alfonso VI of León and Castile (r. 1065–1109) or Alfonso VII of León and Castile (r. 1126–57).

Legal document in Arabic script. A contract made before a Muslim notary, in which the proprietor of a Nubian slave promises to pay to the Jewish physician Makārim b. […] Makārim an honorarium for the successful treatment of the slave's left eye (June, 1245)—how much is not said. The fee perhaps depended on the degree of satisfaction of the contractor. The idea that payment should be made to a physician only after successful treatment is as old as the Codex Hammurabi (paragraphs 215 ff.), and presumably much older. Med Soc II, 257, 580. The verso was used for geometry practice.
