מכתב: Halper 380

תיאור

Letter fragment from ʿOvadya to an unknown addressee. In Judaeo-Arabic. Mentions Abū l-Faraj; asks the addressee to help al-Shaykh al-Rashīd in some legal dispute on behalf of the writer, because that would save the writer the trouble of traveling and the exhaustion; mentions Sayyidnā al-Rayyis and Shelomo and R. Shemuel ha-Dayyān (perhaps Shemuel b. Saʿadya ha-Levi, who served in Maimonides's court in Fustat, and appears in documents ranging between 1165–1203). (Information in part from FGP.) NB: Either the FGP images or metadata for Halper 380 and Halper 381 are assigned to the wrong shelfmark; see 381 for the description of 380 and vice versa.
