Description

Bifolio containing literary text in both Judaeo-Arabic and Arabic script. Appears to be at least partially maqāma in rhymed prose (sajʿ). The Judaeo-Arabic portion describes someone who is pious, fasts on Mondays and Thursdays, studies Torah in the synagogue, etc. Needs further examination.
