Description

Verso: Unidentified text in Arabic script in two different hands, late. The first one seems a literary text mentioning death 'al-mawt'. The second mentions the occurrence of marriage at the end of the month. Recto: Mostly writing practice, "Yaʿqūb" and "Uthmān', also continues on verso. Geomancy or some occult practice related markings towards the bottom. Needs examination.
