Description

Literary text in a beautiful Arabic hand. Seems to be about the son of the king of India who narrates a dream to a wise man in which he had a vision of a woman on horseback surrounded by a retinue of slave women. The wise man goes to the king and tells him that the prince must travel to China (balad al-Ṣīn) in order to see if his vision was true, and if so he will marry the woman.
