מכתב: AIU IX.B.25

תיאור

Copies of letters in Ladino dated 9 December 1811 (23 Kislev 5572), likely a fragment from a broader letter copybook. Senders and recipients are unclear because the header sections that normally list recipients have been omitted for the copybook and senders' names likewise do not appear at the base of each entry. On the verso, however, two individuals' names appear after the dates: Shelomo ben Yehuda (l.5) and Mordechai Kohen (l.10). Likewise, one Moshe Fernandes is mentioned on the verso scan (l.13). The correspondence connected to the former individual may be mentioning the trade in coffee: "mandare otro caffes" (l.7v). "Miẓrayim" appears as a place name (l.14v) as does Rashid on the recto (l.10) and Salonica (l.18r). The last line of the recto mentions "oka/אוקה" as a unit of measurement. MCD.
