Ancient Manuscript Review 76 : Antique North African Manuscript ( 1283 AH)

 

This is a handwritten manuscript from North Africa. The title of this manuscript is " Kitab Al Tafkar Wal Iktibar" . When I bought this manuscript from the seller, he told me that he purchased it from Iran. However I doubted it as the script is more Maghribi in style and some motifs in the manuscript are very african in nature. This is a complete manuscript without missing page. Original covers brownish leather with a flap. There is colophon stating the date of completion in 1283 AH ( 1866 CE)  strangely in numeral.
