Description

Magical spell. Mainly in Judaeo-Arabic. Perhaps for striking fear into people's hearts. The beneficiary seems to be Abū Saʿd b. Baldīn (? בלדין). The original scribe seems to have written Abū Saʿd, but the patronymic was added in later. Also added in later: the name Abū l-Fatḥ Naṣrallāh in between the lines.
