Description

Writing exercises in which the student repeated the same sentence in Judaeo-Arabic on the recto. The paleography supports a dating estimate of 16th-century or later. The upper section of the recto is badly damaged, but the two upper lines of text may have been provided by the student's instructor for them to repeat (a common format in this genre). There is also some scattered writing practice in Hebrew on the recto and verso. MCD.
