Description

Stanzas of Judaeo-Arabic poetry in the voice of a woman, at least in part a complaint about domestic duties: spinning (al-mighzal al-mayshūm), perhaps a crying baby and sleepless nights, and possibly living with her mother-in-law and a stepdaughter. Dating: likely ca. 12th century, based on handwriting. Needs examination. ASE
