Description

State document in Arabic script. Three lines and the last word of a fourth are preserved. Mentions titles of the judge Abū Isḥaq (al-qāḍī al-rashīd al-muwaffaq al-sadīd), probably an investiture document. Dating: 11th–13th century. In between the lines, there is a list in Hebrew script—calendrical? On verso there are Hebrew poems. One composition has the heading משה, another the Judaeo-Arabic heading הגר אלדלאל. (Information in part from Khan and CUDL.)
