Book of the Hajj
Contents
Contains a Book of the Hajj or pilgrimage to Mecca. There are two sets of notes in the margin, one of which looks like it was put in by the author. On the last page he writes 26 (or 16?) Shaabaan (the 8th month of the Muslim year) and 71(?). The dating is in question because a different system of numbering is used in the rest of the book.
Manuscript is written in black, red, blue and green. The writing is enclosed in red and blue borders.
