תיאור

Responsum in the hand of Maimonides, in Fustat. Dating: late 12th century, based on Maimonides' years of activity in Egypt. The primary text, from a communal leader of some kind, asks about appropriate punishment for a man who has cursed another man as well as his late father. Maimonides responds that the offender should be lashed. The document also contains mirrored text, imprinted from a colophon on T-S AS 221.307 (PGPID ) over the course of centuries of adjacent storage. (Information from Friedman and Ashur)
