In this article the author presents a Karaim text from of Josef ha-Mashbir’s (died 1700) autograph. The discovery of this source proves that he was a North-Western Karaim native speaker, which, in turn, supports the claims of those researchers who contend that he originated from Lithuania. Importantly, the source in question is one of the oldest known North-Western Karaim texts.
