Description

State document. Dating: early 13th century (Ayyubid period). Petition from Khuyalāʾ b. Ḥasan and Abū l-Jaysh to the caliph al-ʿĀdil regarding an iqṭāʿ in the district of Minyat Khalaf. The land for the iqṭāʿ formerly belonged to the amīr Muʾnis ʿAlī b. Jawl al-Mihrānī and, after he decamped, to Sayf al-Islām. Khuyalāʾ is asking for a decree that would allow him and Abū l-Jaysh to enter these lands. On verso is a Hebrew liturgical text. (Information from CUDL)
