Description

Account ledger filled with Arabic script and Judaeo-Arabic entries. Several pages. Merits examination. Includes on one page an Arabic poem transcribed into Hebrew characters (the same poem appears in T-S Ar.51.77v): He who doesn't wear the garb of piety is naked even when he's clothed. A man's best clothing/trait is obedience to God, and there is no good in he who disobeys Him. إذا المرءُ لم يلبسْ ثيابًا مِن الـتُّقَى تقلَّبَ عريانًا وإن كان كاسيَا وخيرُ لباسِ/خصالِ المرءِ طاعةُ ربِّه ولا خيرَ فيمَن كان للهِ عاصيَا
