Description

Manuscript containing the transcription in Arabic of nine rhyming poems («al-qāfiyya») and a number of proverbs («amṯāl»). The first four were transliterated and partially translated by Paul Kahle. The rhyming poems are very short, composed to be sung, and regard various topics. The manuscript was not signed but was probably written by Sayyid Aḥmed.
