Description

Fol. 1: Letter in Arabic script. The addressee is called "al-ṣabiyy(?) al-akram... al-jamālī jamāl al-dunyā wa-l-dīn..." The text is quite faded and difficult to read. Mentions a ghulām and it seems the city of Ṣanʿāʾ (في صنعا), unless this is an orthographic variant of "ṣanʿa" and means "craft/trade." Needs further examination.
