RARE 1400-1600 AD Arabic Handwritten Manuscript Medieval Book Fragment Section A

Description

For sale is this incredible authentic antique Arabic book fragment. This fragment includes several pages from the middle of a book. It was once part of a complete work (estimated to be worth thousands today), but at some point in history was removed, or fell apart. This piece is a complex, multi-page, handwritten medieval manuscript. It appears to be some kind of Psalter, poetry, song book, or other similar piece. The work appears to be a piece from approximately 1400-1600 AD, and is an incredible representation of Arabic literature/writing. Note the decorative writing, and the beautiful color variation. It would have been written by a professional scribe, and sold to a wealthy individual or organization. This is a beautiful piece and would look great as decor. I have owned thousands of Arabic pieces, and yet this one is in a very unique style, as it is the first I have owned of its type. I purchased it as part of a collection with two other similar book fragments from an Arabic medieval manuscript collection (of items that are rarely available to purchase on the open market). There is some significant aging and some light damage to it still (mostly including loose binding, worn pages, loose pages, possibly a few missing pages — yet not likely, staining, possible marks, possible repairs, and other minor and significant blemishes). Even factoring in the blemishes and overall condition, this book fragment appraised at several times my listing price. This is an incredible value priced manuscript/book fragment that would make a perfect addition to any collection. Please study the photos carefully as they are the best indicator of condition. This would be a great addition for any collection! It would look great on display, and would be a great conversation piece! Don’t pass it up!
Be sure to check over the details and look at all of the photos so you will know exactly what you’ll get! Again, this is only a fragment of a book. Only a select number of pages from a book that would have once had many more. It has been separated from the rest of the book, and is only the fragment that you see in the photo. Sometimes the photos include a picture of the item next to a ruler so that you can better tell the size of the item. This way we can avoid any accidental sizing issues. My goal is to make you happy!
