Manuscript in an unidentified hand of the Book of Psalms, with some commentaries and suggestions on the medical, magical, talismanic, etc. benefits of each psalm; undated but most likely from the early part of the 19th century
- Description
-
The author is from the city of Fayyūm in Egypt; a Christian, as his name indicates, probably Coptic. The title states that the number of Psalms are 151 (not 150, as is the case in the current versions).
In Arabic; probably translated from Coptic.
The Arabic title translates: Guide to the 151 Psalms and their benefits.
