Cairo Genizah : Liturgy; letter

Cairo Genizah

<p style='text-align: justify;'>Recto: one side of each fragment contains Hebrew liturgical poems. Verso: letter in Judaeo-Arabic *c This classmark unites three fragments, which all have Hebrew liturgical poems on one side, and remainders of letters in Judaeo-Arabic on the other. F. 2 and f. 3 appear to be in the same hand and perhaps from the same letter, whereas f. 1 is written in a different hand. f. 1 mentions ‘my master, the Av (Bet Din)’ , who apparently sailed off to Tripoli, and Benjamin, Mevasser and Jacob, and is concerned with payment of wages and other matters. F. 2 mentions Yešuʿa he-Ḥaver and letters sent to 'our prince' (שרינו) Abū l-ʿAlā. F. 3 mentions a donkey sent with Ḥasan b. Moses.</p>
