Manuscript, selections and novellae on the laws of Shechitah and Terefot, and various other topics, by an unknown writer. [Azerbaijan, ca. 1870s].
Oriental script, typical of the Persian region and Caucasian countries. Upon comparison with another manuscript received from the same source, which was written in Azerbaijan (see previous item), we infer that the present manuscript was written in Azerbaijan.
