מכתב: Moss. V,345.1

תיאור

Letter. Sent from somewhere in al-Shām to Cairo. In a mixture of Judaeo-Arabic and Arabic script. Dating: Perhaps 11th century. Sender and addressee are not identified, but they sound important, and they may be identifiable on the basis of a join or handwriting comparison. Mentions: 'receiving the estates/villages'; an order(?) to leave ʿAkkā (Acre); someone who went to Abū l-Faḍl b. Abū Ṣāliḥ, who was with al-Rayyis Abū l-Riḍā who had just arrived from Jerusalem; that person told them to tell the sender to receive everything from him. The sender said that he would obey. The text in the upper margin refers to something 'perishing,' not having courage; someone who intended to do something, and 'from the city/country.' (Information in part from CUDL.)
