Letter in Ladino, sent by Isaac Baronito to his father Abraham Baronito, Mitzrayim. (Information from CUDL.) Isaac addresses his father as "the crown of my head" (la corona de mi cabeza). It concerns books with "glosses in his hand": sabreis komo he hallado ke tienen los libros haga'ot eskeritura de su mano y me recelo y si kereis aun kon todo esto ke os los envie os los enviare mas ha de saver ke no los vendas a ningun modo por amor de la dicha ke tiene ... y si keres os man dare los libros komo kedamos haya de ser kon este partido ke no los haveis de vender a ningun por la razon. Information from Elazar Gutwirth, "The Family in Judeo-Spanish Genizah Letters," 213. Isaac goes on to offer his father three options for when to receive certain shipments, including the books, the 3 ducats, and the proceeds from the sale of a Torah scroll (? ס״ת). He insists several times that his father must not sell or send the Hagahot/books to anyone else, ve-ha-maskil yavin. He tells his father to write and tell him which of the three options he prefers. He asks after Perla who has gone to Mitzrayim with her husband, and after Shemuel and Rivkah and her husband. Gutwirth suggests that Perla and Rivkah are Isaac's sisters. He sends regards on behalf of Rachel and Michael; Gutwirth suggests these are Isaac's daughters. And he mentions in the penultimate line "las encomiendas de mi parte y de parte de Esther que la cono[ces]"; Gutwirth suggests that Esther is his wife. ASE.
