Description

Deed of acknowledgment (iqrār). In Arabic script. Dating: Probably late Mamluk or Ottoman-era, based on hand and overall appearance. There is the remnant of an ʿalāma at the top (katabahū Aḥmad?). The first line mentions al-madrasa al-Ṣāliḥiyya al-Najmiyya (i.e., the madrasa founded by al-Ṣāliḥ Najm al-Dīn Ayyūb in 1242 and still standing today). The next line gives the name of [...] al-Dīn (or [...]d b.?) Abū l-Faraj (or Abū l-Fatḥ?) Muḥammad b. al-Muḥibb(?) al-khaṭīb al-mālikī khalīfat al-ḥukm al-ʿazīz bi-l-diyār al-miṣriyya. On verso there is related text, perhaps an addendum.
