Notes
Neat, closely-written letter, referring to a courtier, ‘the honoured Sar’. It also mentions Abū Ḵayr Ephraim b. Isaiah. The letter is written both in the first person plural (the plural of majesty, since it sends greetings ‘from our son’, ומן החמוד שלנו) and singular, and is addressed to the second person singular. It is probably a geonic letter of the mid-11th century. Verso: Hebrew jottings in a different hand. | Condition: badly torn | Layout: 15 lines (recto; jottings on verso) | more | less
