Bodl. MS heb. d 75/17
Primary text: Letter from [...] b. Shemuel to Abū Manṣūr [...] b. Ḥusayn b. Shuʿayb. In Judaeo-Arabic. The writer has been ordered to pay 50 dinars to Abū l-Khayr, a request that he cannot refuse. The writer asks the addressee to make the payment via Abū Najāh b. Yūḥānas al-Jahbadh (the government treasurer). The 50 dinars should be taken from those that are hidden in dār al-ṣarf ("the house of money-changing," see Med Soc IV, p. 28). Goitein identifies this Abū Najāh with the well-known monk Abū Najāḥ (b. Qannā or Fannā in the chronicles), who acted as advisor to the caliph al-Āmir, ca.1125–28 CE. Secondary text: The remainder of verso and the margins of recto are filled with Arabic script. Needs further examination. Information in part from Goitein's note card.
