Description

Verso: Scribal practice in Arabic, medieval-era. The basmala is repeated in the opening lines and some of the subsequent exercises resemble an accounting-based structure. Recto: Two sections of texts in different scribal hands, one of which is a brief note or letter draft in the first-person regarding scribal practices (געל אלמצחף... ואנא קאעד פי אלכתאב). MCD.
