Ancient Manuscript Review 191 : Antique Ottoman Era document / Letter ( 1248 AH)




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. There is a signature and with a date of 1248 AH at the bottom of the letter. Its equivalent to 1832 CE.  The letter is written in Riqaah script in black.
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.
