Description

Letter(s) or official document(s) in Arabic script. Narrow space between the lines on one side (this part mentions a fortress/qalʿa), wide space between the lines on the other (this part addresses somebody as "al-jināb al-ʿāl" and mentions his iḥsān and ṣadaqāt). The document on verso is most likely a decree, probably 12-13th c based on paleographic grounds and the document on verso is a letter or petition. Needs further examination.
