Notes

Two files, respectively 10 and 6 folios each, containing two strophic poems in Egyptian dialect. The two files are held together by a kind of cover that presents a series of writings (some unreadable) and a list of names. The first poem is a madīḥ, but it is not complete. The second is a strophic poem. It is dated (1275 AH). The first leaf shows the name of the author (? Al-Šayḫ Abū al-Qayn ? written by Al-Šayḫ ‘Alī al-Saġāyn ? al-Marḥūm Manṣūr).
