1052LetterT-S 13J34.7
Primary language
Hebrew
The sender complains about the lack of letters and asks for help retrieving a debt of 200 ducats from a Muslim—or rather it seems that they are trying to bribe an official (sar) with that money, who is supposed to intervene with the king about something. […] Moshe Ṣāyigh added a postscript in a different hand (right margin, upper text block), in which he greets the 'prince' (the same official from the main letter?) Moshe b. Aṭār (משה ן אטאר).

Letter in Ottoman Turkish to a state official regarding a rabbi's travels to Jerusalem. […] Perhaps, however, the blank space was deliberate, allowing Samuel to insert the name, or to have the name inserted, of whatever official he might ask for aid in any locality en route. The letter asks the official to guarantee Samuel’s security along his route, lauding the addressee effusively, if rather formulaically, and appealing to his compassion.
