Description

Legal document in Arabic script. Dated: 20 Shawwāl 741 AH = 8 April 1341 CE. Seems to be a debt contract in which two people acknowledged that they owe 400 dirhams to a third person. Unclear if it is signed or not. The note at upper left of recto is probably a filing note. One of the parties is Muḥammad b. علوي the farmer (muzāriʿ) in the district of M[...] (l. 2). Another is al-Ḥājj [...] b. Khalīfa b. ʿAbd al-[...]. Mentions a government bureau (al-dīwān al-maʿmūr). Reused in the upper margin and on recto for various other writings, including religious poetry and/or condolence blessings. (Information in part from Baker/Polliack catalog, where it is misidentified as a letter.)
