Description

Highly fulsome letter of praise, consisting of 12 lines of praise in Hebrew, followed by 5 lines of Arabic script containing the actual content of the letter, and closing with a further 13 lines of blessings. The whole letter has a heading בשים איל רחום וחנון. On verso the page is covered with Arabic pen trials. (Information from CUDL.) It appears that the Hebrew beginning and ending were prepared by a scribe in advance. Either the same scribe or somebody else later used the template to fill in the 5 lines of Arabic script. It is a a letter of appeal for charity.
