Letter from Yaʿaqov Ibn ha-Nagid to a notable named Shelomo. In Hebrew and Judaeo-Arabic. Goitein's index card identifies the sender as "Yaʿaqov b. David Maimonides" but it is not clear how he knows this. Dating: Probably 14th or 15th century, based on the hand and style. Apart from numerous greetings, the purpose of the letter is to urge the addressee to send a previously discussed sum of money for the sender and his father. Not mentioned in the literature (except perhaps Ashtor, I, p. 232).
