There are also writing exercises in Arabic script. Verso: Literary text in Judaeo-Arabic, pertaining to Maimonides's correspondence with the Sages of Provence, including R. Yehonatan ha-Kohen of Lunel, concerning the resurrection of the dead and Maimonides's treatise on this subject. The subsequent text block may be related; it is written in poetic Hebrew. This page also contains a third text block in Arabic script: يسال موسى عن ال . . . . . . تكون . . . جاير عالي شي . . . . . . . . . بجواب . . . . . . . . . . عليه شك . . . .
