3551LetterT-S 12.66
Inferred date
1138–1139 CE
Primary language
Judaeo-Arabic
India Book (IB) IV,50 (ח42). Letter from Shemuʾel b. Yiṣḥaq, probably in Granada, to Ḥalfon b. […] 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'.

Arabic
Letter in Arabic script. Tall and skinny. Damaged at the beginning. […] The letter is addressed to a woman, perhaps the merchant’s wife: “wa-mā taḥtājī waṣiyya. . . wa-tashkurī. . .” […] The sender then gives the date the letter was written (Jumādā I, but the year is rubbed out), mentions al-Shaykh Maḍmūn, and asks for the addressee's prayers.

Judaeo-Arabic
A very rough translation is as follows: "Your letter arrived with Ibn al-Jalajuli. Najm al-Din read it with me in Giza and wrote a response in his own hand. […] He is good of heart and wishes for your delivery. He promised me. Every day I await for the response from him, and every day I go to him -- may God grant that salvation is at his hands, and the next letter after this one will tell of your salvation. […] As for what you said about going to to al-Shams b. al-Muzawwiq - he did not leaveme in Giza after he read your letter except that he was good (of health?).

Arabic was used here no doubt because the originator of the collection was a merchant who was accustomed to corresponding in Arabic rather than in Hebrew script. He also arranged collections in two noted bourses of Fustat (two collections in each bourse), one, the dar al-Fadil, founded by al-Fadil al-Baysani, originally a Fatimid official, but later chancellor and confidant of Saladin, and dar al-Za'fran (saffron house), which was adjacent to the house of gems, repeatedly mentioned in Mediterranean Society (Information from Mediterranean Society, II, p. 508, App.

Legal document in Arabic script. Dating: mentions the end of Dhū l-Qaʿda 563 AH = 1168 CE. Seems to be a commercial contract involving a shop and specifying the goods to be sold. Mentions "bayʿ al-ḥiṣṣa" "sale of the share". Needs further examination. […] In the margins of the original document, there are another few lines in Arabic script (different hand/document), probably the beginning of a letter starting with a basmala and a Judaeo-Arabic recipe involving rosewater and boxthorn (ʿawsaj), perhaps a medical prescription.

But the writer met with the addressee's father and brother and with Ismāʿīl and determined that the addressee was mistaken about something. The writer is interested in the turban and the Venetian khirqa and mentions a maqṭaʿ cloth as well. The ambergris that Abū l-Rabīʿ brought has not sold yet, which means his capital is currently tied up in it.

Looks literary at first glance, but mentions a kharājī year (or at least something "al-kharājiyya"), which suggests something to do with taxation. Also mentions an overseer of waqf (nāẓir al-ḥubus) and ḥabs in a few places "li l-ḥabs wa-mā bi-yadihi min al-waqf wa l-rizq". Possibly a legal document.
