T-S 12.652
Two drafts of the same letter to the "holy congregation" about Yosef Saftawi (trader in "safta," it seems an Indian spice) who had been given shelter in the community's hospice after having arrived in Fustat penniless and burdened with debt. He behaved, however, in a way which was an offense to God, to his wife, and his child. The drafts were written on a page which had served as the beginning of a treatise by Avraham b. Ezra ("the Philosopher"), referring to the year 1165/6 [561 Hijri]. Information from Goitein's note card. ASE.
