Letter in Judaeo-Arabic. Probably from Yehuda Ibn al-ʿAmmānī, in Alexandria, to Abū l-Majd Meir b. Yakhin, in Fustat. (Identification based on handwriting, typical layout, and references to family members; cf. T-S 12.299 and T-S 8J22.31.) Dating: Early 13th century. On one side, mentions Abū Saʿīd Khalaf the cantor; Ibn Bū l-Zakkār; Umm Bū l-Ḥusayn; and the mother of the addressee. On the other side, reports that the addressee's brothers Saʿīd and Hil[āl] are in good health. If Yehuda manages to find his copy of Ḥullin, he will send it. As for Abū l-[...] the Shammash, he has a very difficult character. They arranged a public charity collection (pesiqa) as requested. But apparently he only received 3 3/4 dirhams. Yehuda asks Meir to meet with R. Yeḥiel. ASE
