Description

Three documents in Arabic script, probably unrelated except for the fact that they were all reused for piyyuṭ on the other side. Fol. 1: Private letter from a son to a mother. May refer to someone with ophthalmia (ramid) in the last line. The address on recto is partially legible: to Qalyūb to be given to the teacher Bashshār(?) to the house/wife of the physician (ilā bayt al-ṭabīb) Fol. 2: Drafts of legal or official text, mentioning a dīwān. Fol. 3: Might be an official receipt. Small fragment from the upper right corner.
