Letter in Hebrew from the widow of the well known mid 12th century Judge Hiyya b. Yishaq. The widow is stressing her powerlessness (היא חבויה בבטן האדמה וצריכה לכל) and asks assitance from the community. On verso is an Arabic-script petition with a few Hebrew words added to it. Are the Hebrew and Arabic petition related in some way?
