AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Ancient Arabic manuscript on paper – 19th century Description
Arabic manuscript in black ink with red rubricated highlights, comprising about 40 recto-verso pages (nearly 80 pages written).
The work is written in an elegant Maghrebi or Near Eastern script, carefully laid out within ink-drawn frames.
The old brown leather binding, stamped and gilded, features a geometric and floral Islamic-inspired decoration.
The text is hand-written in black ink, some words or passages highlighted in red according to the traditional practice of religious and literary manuscripts of the Muslim world. The content appears to relate to Islamic religious or devotional literature, with several passages containing invocations and references to God (“Allah”), although a complete identification of the text cannot be confirmed from the pages photographed alone.
Beautiful exemplar bearing witness to the Arabic manuscript tradition of the 19th century, preserving its authentic character despite signs of use, foxing, moisture stains and some wear to the margins and binding consistent with its age. floating booklet
