Description

Fragment of a text in Ottoman Turkish, probably a legal document or petition/letter with legal content. The opening lines mention the Ottoman legal system and the lodging of a formal complaint/claim (daʿva üzerine qānūnan). An official (vazifedâr) is mentioned in l. 4 and an urban district in l. 7 (mahallede), missing the exact location along the paper tear. The verso contains a curious geometric border design with alternating pink squares. Requires further examination. MCD.
