Description

Numerous pages of a handbook filled with someone's exercises for learning to write either Arabic or Judaeo-Arabic. Dating: Unknown, probably Ottoman era. Of documentary interest in part because many of the writing exercises appear to be copies of actual letters. There are also many names of people and places, presumably in Cairo. Needs further examination.
