- Kommentar: On the folder included in the digitization is written (in Danish, in Adler's hand): "To Chief Rabbi Simonsen fra גניזה [genizah] in the old synagogue in Fostat Egypt from yours truly E. N. Adler [i.e. Elkan Nathan Adler] 10. 3. 1896". Addition in David Simonsen's hand: "(Via [?] Gottf. Ruben)".
- Tentative description of the contents by Dr. Amir Ashur, Tel Aviv Univeristy, Oct. 2012: "It seems to be a letter containing a legal query sent to the head of the Jews in Egypt, who is titled 'Sar Ha-Sarim', that is: the minister of all the ministers. This title was usually belonging to Sar Shalom Halevi, who was the head of the Jews for some time between 1171-1195. A closer look is required, but it looks like it deals with a debt that the writer has with his sister and her kids, and they are asking the Head of the Jews for his advice." (Quoted by permission.)
