Description

Popular literature in Judaeo-Arabic. Mostly rhymed. Seems to be humorous and at least partially involves a medical prescription (for a lovesick person? someone says, '"Give me all the prescriptions," and the other person gives one with 30 simples). There is also quite a bit about love and also a mention of a riding camel (hajīn). Somewhat reminiscent of T-S NS 264.27 + T-S AS 145.360 + T-S NS 224.181 + T-S 12.537.
