Letter in Ladino to Shelomo Almanas or Almatango[?] on verso from Aharon ha-Kohen dated [54?]78 or [53?]78. The latter year seems more likely because the third digit is expressed with a character that most closely resembles "ש" and alongside "٧٨" or 1617-1618CE. This is a very distinct hand with a great deal of curvature expressed in cursive ligatures. In lines 7-10v the letter's author discusses a transaction in selling items whose color is under consideration and this sale continues as the topic of the marginal section. MCD. On recto is a list of Amoraim and where they are mentioned in the Talmud. Information from FGP.

Fatimid state report from a lower official to the caliph or other high official(s), including raʾy clause, ḥamdala and ḥasbala. Only the last two lines before the ending are preserved. Mentions Ibn al-Anbārī and excuses for why a group of people were prevented from arriving somewhere (possibly tempests—anwāʾ).

A few lines in extremely faded Arabic script. Unidentified. On the other side there is Hebrew piyyuṭ.

A few words from a decree. There are multiple notes underneath in different hands. The one on the left says "let it be copied in the Dīwān al-Mufrad lil-Iqṭāʿāt al-Murtajiʿa in shāʾa llāh." Underneath, "It was copied, praise be to God alone." The one of the right has a similar layout; maybe similarly instructions to copy it, for a different dīwān, and confirmation that it was copied. Apparently Barqūq established Dīwān al-Mufrad in either 1382 or 1395 CE; see Daisuke Igarashi, "The Establishment and Development of al-Dīwān al-Mufrad: Its Background and Implications," Mamluk Studies Review 10 (2006), 117–40.
