Date | [8th-10th cent. AH] |
Note (general) | 4 line tughra, alif 5 cm., 19 lines, first 11 complete, bottom faded |
Note (general) | 8 cm. right margin |
Note (general) | One line written down the right margin, up against the text, and 3 2-3 line subcriptions, possibly names, grouped under that line. |
Note (general) | Traces of main lines extending across the right margin may be from the document having been folded and the ink soaking into the margin, or the document may be a palimpsest |
Note (general) | The left margin is damaged but nearly complete |
Note (general) | Bottom margin probably lost, date would have been here |
Note (general) | Mamluk document reminiscent of those published by Wainsborough, Richards, et.al., and to those in Oriental Institute Collection (Chicago), but not as elegant |
Note (general) | Comparatively poor quality paper, and only 1.25 cm. between the lines. Good script, though difficult to read because of the ink running and giving an out of focus appearance that is compounded by fading. |
Note (general) | Unglassed |
