Contains a fascinating and long-winded tale about contradictory testimonies regarding whether a woman's husband (ʿAbd al-Khāliq) gave her a conditional divorce before he traveled to Egypt; on the strength of this, certain people drew up a get for her and now she's engaged to someone else; the writer is upset about this and wants the addressee to weigh in, partly because the witnesses are contradicting their own past statements/behaviors, and in part because of how it will look to the Rabbanites ('the Qaraites have already become a חרפה וקלסה').

Our Yehuda is mentioned en passant in a revealing passage: "This year there arrived in Egypt (diyār miṣr) from a town in Europe (diyār al-[r]ūm) called Narbonne—the town famous for its scholars (ʿulamāʾ) and righteous men (fuḍalāʾ)—a man whose superior in knowledge, piety, and reverence has not arrived from those parts (min tilka al-diyār) since the great rav (al-rav al-kabīr), our master Yehuda Rosh ha-Seder, may his memory be blessed." […] The letter implies, therefore, that he had arrived from a Christian country, possibly Italy (usually termed "the land of al-rūm" in the Geniza), and had, therefore, obtained at least part of his learning within a non- Islamic environment. Quite likely, he had also spent time in an Arabic-speaking Jewish community (Qayrawān?)
