תיאור

Letter addressed to Aharon ha-Memunne b. Efrayim Ibn Ṭarsūn. In Hebrew and Judaeo-Arabic. The first five lines of the letter are in a different hand than the body; perhaps a professional prepared a form letter addressed to the notable Aharon, and the writer filled in the rest with his specific request. The writer comes from a distant country (but writes in Arabic). He asks the addressee to attend his sermon on Shabbat in the synagogue, and to treat him in his capacity of scholar differently from other wayfarers. See tag for similar invitations to sermons. Information from Goitein's index card.
