Description

Scribal exercises and copious jottings in Hebrew, Judaeo-Arabic and Arabic script. In the margin of verso there is the draft of an informal note in a hand reminiscent of Avraham Maimonides. It may even be signed אלממלוך ר אברהם but is very messy, so it is hard to say. A request from Fakhr al-Dawla Abū (Ibn?) al-Fakhr to help Abū Naṣr al-Kātib with the price of Nāṣiriyya silver and of gold.
