Description

Petition from an impoverished army veteran who had served in ʿAsqalān, possibly to the vizier Ibn al-Salār (r. 1149–53). 1153 is a terminus ante quem as that is when Ascalon fell to the Franks. However, the petition is not dated and does not refer to Ibn al-Salār by name or by any unique titulature. (Information in part from Khan.)
