Notes
- Abstract:
- This manuscript consists of three closely linked poems. The first narrates the life of the Prophet Mohammed. The second, a religious admonition, resembles the first in giving biographical detail of the Prophet. The third poem is a religious admonition. The scribe of this manuscript and of 380556 appears to be the same, and the contents of these manuscripts are so similar as to make their division seem arbitrary. They are perhaps best examined together. ( en )
