Account

Modern. Few words. Unidentified.

Much faded and damaged letter to R. Hananel (b. Shemuel), Abraham Maimuni's father-in-law. It might be a copy of a letter from Abraham Maimuni himself, but the text is too faded to make a conclusion. AA

Accounts, probably. In Arabic script and Greek/Coptic numerals, with one line in Hebrew script. Dark paper and faded ink.

Accounts of the Qodesh, probably. Almost entirely in Arabic script, but there is a זל after one of the names, indicating its Jewish origin. This is a bifolium containing accounts arranged in neat columns, with each entry containing a name and a sum written in Greek/Coptic numerals. Needs further examination.

Strip from a letter, only few words are preserved, few lines in Arabic script.
