Notes
Letter from the scribe Solomon b. Elijah the judge to his cousin Abū l-Barakāt b. Abū l-Manṣūr al-Ḥarīrī. Solomon is cancelling his planned visit before Passover due a period of unrest and expresses concern for the plight of the Jews. Solomon is unenthusiastic to learn of a marriage that has recently taken place between Ibn al-ʿAmmānī and Solomon's paternal cousin, and he feels that Ibn al-ʿAmmānī has made the better match. Reference is made to a forthcoming marriage in the family, and greetings are sent to various individuals. From T-S 13J34.9 we learn that Solomon's cousin who married Hibatallāh b. Futūḥ Ibn al-ʿAmmānī was Sitt al-Yumn. This is possibly the same cousin Sitt al-Yumn that Solomon had unsuccessfully tried to marry himself in 1219 CE (T-S 13J18.22). | Condition: Torn, holes, stained | Layout: 23 lines + marginalia (recto); 19 lines (verso) | more | less
