Notes

• The ends of the letters are in written in graphic form, using inverted triangles; The bottom of two folios from a book of letters, apparently composed for literary value. Florid Hebrew prose, heavily decorated with biblical phrases, and some Talmudic ones. The letters are copied successively into a codex; One of the letters is signed על הכתב[...] צבי ה״ה בן לביא probably a pen name; Within the paragraphs there are few text breaks, hardly discernable, denoted only by a space.
   
• Condition: 2 fragments, torn in identical shape, from lower end of fols; orn. dev.
