Description

Bifolio containing piyyuṭ and scribal practice. One of the pages contains a brief petition-like note addressed to a woman (al-sitt al-jalīla) with a taqbīl and a request to send the writer a codex of Jeremiah: עבד חצרה אלסת אלגלילה אטאל אללה בקאהא ואדאם עזהא ונעמאהא וכבת חסדתהא ואעדאהא יקבל אלארץ בין ידי חצרתהא ויסל תפצלהא אן תוגהי לעבדך מצחף ירמיה. On this genre, see Oded Zinger, "Gender and the Art of Asking," Medieval Globe 9, no. 2 (2023): 103–27.
