India Book (IB) IV,3 (ח13). Letter from Abū Zikrī Kohen, in Fustat, to Ḥalfon b. […] Dating: 1132 CE. This short letter was sent by Abū Zikrī Kohen, the merchant's clerk in Fustat, to Ḥalfon shortly after he left for Qūṣ, on the way to the east. […] The small sums of a few tens of dinars mentioned are probably leftovers from larger transactions.

3152LetterAIU XII.116
Primary language
Arabic
Fragment of a mercantileletter in Arabic script. Relatively large (the bottom 22 lines are preserved + 4 lines in the margin + remnants of the address on verso) but poorly conserved, and the first 11 lines are difficult to read. […] Ḥasan, and the document dates to 1136–39 or 1145–49 CE; see PGPID 5408 for further discussion. In the letter, the sender explains that he has no need for a certain item and that the addressee also has no need for it; mentions commodities including betel nut, raisins, the unidentified DRKY (الدركي) from the ruler of Dahlak (al-ṣāḥib Dahlak), and other undeciphered items; mentions a sum of 60 Malikī dinars; the arrival of the Kārim convoy in Aden; a group of "stray merchants" (tujjār mutawwahīn) and their trading activities; an extremely high price for a commodity whose name is difficult to read (150 dinars a bahār); and the same issues discussed in ENA NS 48.2, including how the governor (al-mālik al-sayyid) Bilāl b. Jarīr bought up all of the DRKY for his own use, leaving none for the other merchants, and the economic setback (labṭa) this year.

Letter from Yefet b. Menashshe to his brother Abū l-Surūr Peraḥya b. Menashshe. In Judaeo-Arabic. This is a complete and well-preserved letter, which is rare in the Yefet corpus. Goitein's note card points out that Yefet and Peraḥya are the two brothers of Ḥalfon b. Menashshe ha-Levi Ibn al-Qaṭāʾīf and that the brothers also had at least two sisters.

Recto: Opening lines of a letter introduced by quotations such as Psalms 31:2. […] Maybe the letter on recto was torn to create scrap paper, and this note was then enclosed along with a bundle of letters to be forwarded from Yemen to Sicily via Egypt. Possibly the lettermentioned by Goitein (Speculum, 1954) as one of the few letters sent from the IO region addressed directly to the Med region.

Primary language
Judaeo-Arabic
Letter from Abū l-Riḍā, it seems in Fustat, to his wife's brother Meʾir, perhaps in Damīra or at least nearby in the Rīf. […] But there are enough unusual features (format, language) of the letter that it could plausibly be 5151 AM = 1390 CE. […] He thanks the addressee for his letter of condolence, though in a backhanded sort of way ("I knew that you would not have honored me with a letter if this calamity had not occurred to me").

Letter fragment, 20 lines, well preserved. The writer at the beginning of the lettermentions a sale that did not reap any profits (lam yūlij minhā ḥabba wāḥida) and describes his anguish and shame over it (lines 2-4). He then mentions the arrival of a letter on 11th Rabīʿ al-Ākhar and the news of the addressee’s safety joyed him but the affairs that he described saddened him. […] The writer in the last few lines expresses his desire for prompt correspondence from Abī Ghālib either through his messenger or through ʿAbd Allah and assures frequent communication regarding affairs from his side.

Legal record (#23) in a court register/pinqas from a Rabbanite beit din in Cairo (on f. 6r-v of BL OR 6356). […] The entry provides clues that these were cloth merchants, in exclusionary clauses on the verso regarding clothing and here on the recto mentioning "ditas" merchandise that are left over from the group's business activities. This term can be found in the Kohen & Kohen-Gordon Ladino dictionary as "logo, insignia" but may have had a more generic meaning connected to cloth embroidery. For another appearance of the same term in a cloth merchant partnership from 1730 CE, see: AIU VII.D.49 (PGPID 30545).

Primary language
Ladino
Letter in Ladino and Hebrew addressed to Moshe Reuben dated 6 August 1754 CE (28 Av 5514 AM). […] The author has a strong command of Hebrew and code-switches into it more frequently than is commonly the case in Ladino letter writing. For example, following the heading, the opening lines of the body of the letter rely primarily on Hebrew and in l. 11r the writer switches when mentioning "הדיין המצויין יצחק נואני יצו... […] In the following line the author mentions "our brother Eliyyahu Portos" which may mean "אחינו" is being used loosely rather than in the sense of direct familial ties between siblings (l. 13r).
