Description

Official report in Arabic script. The ends of 6 lines are preserved. Mentions jihād and a general (al-amīr al-isfahsalār), probably in the context of the Crusades, since the scribe who reused verso for Hebrew poetry was active around 1100 CE (compare T-S NS 111.140 and all the matches on Joins Suggestions). This document was identified and catalogued on PGP by Alan Elbaum in 2022. Pending publication by Paul Cobb and Alan Elbaum.
