Recto: Letter opening with phrases in Hebrew rhyme. Psalms 119:165 is written in a smaller script in two short lines preceding the letter proper. No names are preserved, but the recipient (addressed in the third person) is referred to with various ostentatious titles, including ‘crown of the Jews’. Verso: List of about forty bible verses, not all suitable for laudatory introduction; perhaps for wall decoration only. (information from Goitein's index card). VMR and EMS
