T-S AS 153.128
Letter in Judaeo-Arabic. The scribe is identical with the scribe of PER H 86, which means this is the second autograph of the famous Spanish poet Yehuda al-Ḥarizi to be discovered. Dating: ca. 1215–25 CE. The sender urges the addressee to help him in a certain matter involving al-Akram Abu l-Rabīʿ, who must not leave Fustat/Egypt before a certain business and/or legal matter is concluded to his satisfaction. The sender threatens that he fears he will have to send an even more strongly worded letter. In the margin he says that he has been estranged from 'our friends' (aṣḥābnā) in every land because when he came to them with gentleness and praise and longing, they responded with grumbling and haughtiness. The addressee of this letter is not identified; possibly Eliyyahu the Judge, the addressee of al-Ḥarizi's other known letter.. ASE
