Letter from the Alexandrian community to Shemuel ha-Levi, "the prince of Levites, the glory of doctors" b. […] In Frenkel's opinion, the letter was sent from Alexandria. There are a few indications for this in the letter: The mentioning of 'the evils of gentiles' (recto - line 17) fits well with Alexandria which was known for its fanatic atmosphere and for its not uncommon anti-Jewish acts of violence; see Goitein, Med. […] See Ullmann, Islamic Medicine, pp. 29-30.

2743LetterT-S 12.111
Primary languages
Hebrew, Judaeo-Arabic
Letter in Judaeo-Arabic. On parchment. Fragment (right side only). Very tantalizing subject matter, possibly written on the occasion of a change of government (tabdīl al-dawla). Mentions communal matters and the sulṭān; sounds like a communal letter or sermon addressed to a group, but then the text in the margin conveys greetings to a single person, mentioning names such as Yosef, Shemuʾel, and Elʿazar. Also mentions a man who lost his two sons in the same year.
