Description

Judaeo-Arabic midrash of the story of Abraham destroying his family's idols and converting them to monotheism. Interesting features of the fragment include the distinctive handwriting and orthography (e.g. spelling עגוז ("old woman") as both עזוג and עזוז), and the declaration of faith that Abraham dictates to her: קולי לא אללה(!) אלא אללה וחדהו לא שריך לה ימית ויחיי והו חי לא ימות ואני אנא אבראהים עבדה וכלילה ונביה פקאלת אשהד עלייא אנא אמנת באלאהך ובך ואנא אקול לא אלה אלא אללה והו אללה . . . .
