Paraliterary text p. Heid. Hebr. 22

Description

Recto: Colophon in Judaeo-Arabic, presumably copied from an Arabic work previously copied by a Muslim. "Written in the mon{th} of Rabīʿ I of the year 527 (=January/February 1133 CE), praise be to God alone and prayers upon our Prophet {our} ancestor Muḥammad b. ʿAbdallāh the master of the prophets and upon his pure descendants." Verso: Mysterious text in strange-looking Arabic characters, mentions death and grave. Needs further examination.
