Description

Two different text blocks in Arabic script, on a bifolio that looks like it was reused for a book binding. One of them opens with a taqbīl, but in an unusual way: "amā uqabbil yadahā l-karīma", and tells the addressee to collect a letter from the bearer, as he has three in possession (ʿindī thalātha karārīs). The second folio is a fragment of a philosophical text that talks about envy (ḥasad) and its intrinsic existence in the human body. Needs further examination.
