Description from the seller
Ancient Arabic manuscript on paper – 19th century Description
Arabic manuscript in black ink with red highlighting, comprising about 40 pages recto-verso (nearly 80 pages written).
The work is written in an elegant Maghrebi or Near Eastern script, neatly arranged within ink-drawn frames.
The old brown leather binding with stamped gold features a geometric and floral Islamic-inspired design.
The text is hand-written in black ink, certain words or passages highlighted in red according to the traditional practice of religious and literary manuscripts in the Muslim world.
The content appears to be religious or devotional Islamic literature, with several passages containing invocations and references to God ("Allah"), though a full identification of the text cannot be asserted from the pages photographed alone.
A fine exemplar bearing witness to the Arabic manuscript tradition of the 19th century, preserving its authentic character despite signs of use, foxing, damp stains and some wear to the margins and binding in keeping with its age. floating booklet
