Description

State document, in Arabic script. Record of an ordinance dated Ṣafar 537 AH (= September 1142 CE) from Al-Ẓāfir to instruct Al-Hāfiẓ’s book warehouse to issue ‘the epistle of the elder ʿAlī b. ʿĪsā’ (i.e. the ophthalmological treatise Tadkirat al-kaḥḥalīn) to the amir Fakhr al-Dīn Abū Manṣūr ʿIzz al-ʿArab b. Muḥammad. The oversized ʿalāma (endorsement) in thick pen reads as "yuṭlaq dhālik", "may it be granted", possibly in the Caliph al-Ẓāfir's own autograph.
