Description

Verso: Two fragments of a Fatimid internal memorandum dating to the period of al-Ḥāfiẓ (r. 1130-1149). The preserved text mentions "Sadd al-jusūr al-sulṭāniyya", the operation of the royal dykes, the Gharbiyya province, and at least three state officials: al-Amīr al-Muwaffaq Sayf al-Mulk Iftikhār al-Dawla wa-Shujāʿuhā Abī Manṣūr Yāqūt, al-Amīr al-Muwaffaq al-Manṣūr al-Saʿīd Sharīf al-Umarāʾ, and Muʾayyad al-Dawla wa-ʿImāduhā. Requires further examination. (Join by Matthew Dudley and Yusuf Umrethwala). YU. Recto: The paper was reused for a vocalized Hebrew portion of the Passover Haggadah including the Ma Nishtana. MCD
