תיאור

Letter from Barakāt to his father. In Judaeo-Arabic. Dating: Probably 12th or 13th century. The letter consists entirely of flowery expressions of sorrow on account of separation. "May God prolong your life... for you are our healing... I have had no peace in your absence, just as when the doctor is absent, the patient perishes. As the prophet said, 'My father, my father, the chariots of Israel and the horsemen thereof!' (2 Kings 2:12 and 13:14)." Regards to the congregation and the writer's mother and his sister and her daughter and the children.
