Letter perhaps from the community of Tinnīs (mentions the synagogue of Tinnīs in the first preserved line), to the Nagid (ḥaḍrat sayyidnā al-rayyis), with about 10 signatures. Dated the end of Adar [1]480 = 1169 CE. Lower right only, reused for letter drafts in calligraphic Arabic script. ASE/MR
AIU VII.E.10
Recto: a few lines of a Judaeo-Arabic letter, partly having to do with commercial matters (mentioning silver and glass) and the somewhat opaque phrase "if you are intending אכראג ידך, inform me at the beginning of the year." It also quotes verses of consolation and mentions al-ʿazā' in the margin. Verso: a list of materia medica in Judaeo-Arabic. ASE.
AIU VII.E.100
Late letter in Judaeo-Arabic from Moshe ben Naʿim, to his father Me'ir ben Naʿim and to Se[nyor] David ben Naʿim. The letter also contains blocks of Arabic text. Needs further examination.
AIU VII.E.101
Late letter in Judaeo-Arabic (1807 CE) from Karo y Frances & Company to Avraham ha-Levi.
AIU VII.E.102
Letter in Ladino in which most of the heading has been damaged but could indicate the year [5]419CE or given that the latter two digits are clear and the ligature of "4" is present (l. 1r). A possible reading of the date is thus 1659CE. Most of the signature is also lost along the bottom tear of the fragment but the remnant of one flourish is present indicating where the author signed. The folding of this fragment also suggests that it was likely sent, and did not remain in the possession of the author as a draft. In the text itself the author mentions their brother "a mi ermano sr. Yeḥezqel / יחזקאל" (l. 13r). The name of the letter carrier is also mentioned "יאודה אטיזו" or "Yauda Atizo/Atezo" (l. 5r). The author also mentions his brother-in-law (l. 11r) and his sister (l. 15r). MCD.

AIU VII.E.104
Letter in Ladino to Muʿallim Ḥabīb from Simḥah de Mordukh (?). He requests money to be sent with Mordekhai Shamano. The writer's location may be named in the first line (conceivably Aleppo: it looks like חליב). The writer's uncle is in Safed. The writer's nephew Shemuel ha-Kohen sends his regards. Several people in the household and family of the recipient are named. The fragment also contains some text in Hebrew and Arabic. Damietta and Mansurah (?) are named in the address.
