Description

Panegyric addressed Abū Isḥāq Ibrāhīm b. ʿAṭā' (aka Avraham b. Natan), the Nagid of Qayrawān. Of note, this copy was probably made during Ibrāhīm's lifetime (perhaps ca. 1015 CE), as his name is followed by a blessing for longevity. See discussion and translation in Ann Brener, Isaac ibn Khalfun : a wandering Hebrew poet of the eleventh century, pp. 74–78, 116–17.
