Description
Note in Judaeo-Arabic stating that the amir Timurbugha (תמרבגא) assumed rule on Saturday, 9 Jumādā I 872 AH, which is December 1467 CE. The month is referred to as "Jumādā al-Fard" (גמאדי אלפרד). This is followed by the blessing "may it be a good sign for all Israel. Amen Neṣaḥ Sela.” From other sources, we know that Timurbugha became sultan on Saturday, 5 December 1467 CE and ruled under the name al-Malik al-Ẓāhir before being deposed by Qaitbey two months later.
