Ancient Manuscript Review 206 : Antique Ottoman Era document / Letter ( 1248 AH / 1833 CE)

 




This is a document written in old Turkish. The document was originally folded and sealed. I couldn't figure out what type of document this is. It could be a legal document or a personal ones.  The letter is written in Riqaah script in black. It was signed and dated 1248 AH ( 1833 CE)
I don't have much information of this kind of manuscript and its writing tradition. I need to do more research on this manuscript and will update this entry later. I welcome any feedback on this letter.
