Description

Petition to a state official. In Arabic. After a taqbīl, the addressee is greeted with many titles ("al-majlis al-ʿādilī al-sayfī al-nāṣirī(?) al-kāmilī al-hādī"). The petitioner complains ("wa-yunhī...") of his "weakness" and "isolation" (inqiṭāʿ) and "poverty." The nature of his request is lost. The addressee could possibly be the wazīr of al-Ẓāfir or the Ayyubid Sultan al-ʿĀdil based on the opening but requires further examination. Reused for piyyuṭ on recto. Not yet digitized.
