Description

Fragment from the beginning of a Christological literary text. In Arabic script. Opens with two versions of the basmala, one invoking the Trinity and one with the standard formula. The isnād follows, attributing the work to Abū l-Fawāris al-Ḥasan b. Muḥammad al-Mahdī, from Dāʾūd(?) Muḥammad b. Aḥmad al-Ḥalabī al-Dāʿī, from the Fatimid caliph al-Muʿizz li-Dīn Allāh (r. 953–75), from his ancestors. See FGP for Krisztina Szilagyi's detailed cataloguing. See also Goitein's index card.
