Letter in Judaeo-Arabic. Reused for business accounts on verso in the hand of ʿArūs b. Yosef (according to Goitein's notes). The letter is written in a very difficult hand. The addressee is asked to meet with Abū [...], Abū l-Barakāt, and the latter's mother and to convey the sender's greetings and the message that he only cut off his correspondence with them because they cut it off first. […] (All of this is tentative, because the letter has still not been adequately transcribed.)

Letter from Nissim b. Ḥalfon, in Tinnīs, to Nahray b. […] He almost did not collect the debt from al-Ḥarīrī (the silk merchant) in Damsīs. Selling linen was hard because a better product arrived from the Levant (Ashqelon and Arṣūf and possibly Tyre). […] But perhaps this is less likely, because the letter does not describe any prior reprieve from the illness, and because the subject of the verb is "he and his sister," not the illness.

India Book III, 40c: Letter (draft) from one community leader to another with an appeal for support for refugees from Christian persecution and cursing on anyone informing against converts to Judaism. According to Goitein, the letter was dictated to Ibn Yijū many years before he traveled east, even though his wife and brother-in-law were converts and the lettermentions both India and Yemen as places to which copies of the letter should be sent. See Goitein, Med. Soc., 2:305 (592, n. 29), on the puzzling nature of this text; Friedman connects it speculatively with "the Norman invasion of the East, which began in 1153."

4146LetterENA 4100.17
Primary language
Judaeo-Arabic
The sender is a Qaraite (among other indications, he calls the Rabbanites "the damned bastards the sons of the Mishna"). The letter resembles many of the communal Qaraite letters found in the Firkovich collection. The letter contains a detailed description of a legal case, apparently about someone seeking to convert away from Judaism. […] There are several lines praising God for His goodness and calling down curses on enemies and schemers and anyone who has pity on a Rabbanite—"may he taste his medicine." The letter concludes with various greetings.

2. רסלת פתוי לשופט מן גהה אלממ מע ענאיה
