Sample Text
Fully preserved letter written in Early Judeo-Persian. It was sent from Ghazna to Abū al-Ḥasan Siman-Tov b. Abū Naṣr Yehuda, who was in Bāmiyān, by Yaʾir, son of Ēmēd. Yaʾir writes at length about personal issues, mainly justifying his remaining in Ghazna, probably to the recipient’s displeasure, and expresses his desire to bring his family there. Yaʾir also lays out the reasons that prevented him from leaving Ghazna. Two of the main reasons for this were the nature of his work and his inability to practice other professions. Yaʾir also refers to his obligation to pay different types of taxes as a reason to stay in Ghazna.
