Description

Letter/note from Ismāʿīl(?) al-ʿAṭṭār to Maḥfūẓ. In Arabic script. Dating: Probably 12th or 13th century. After the tarjama and basmala, it opens abruptly, "Yā shaykh Maḥfūẓ...." Mentions 300 of something; meeting with someone; and the shop. Might be coordinating some logistics. The document has traces of burning. Needs further examination.
