Description:
Title-page of the epistle on Animals of Rasa'il Ikhwan as-safa (The Encyclopaedia of the Brethren of Purity)? Perhaps someone was writing this title to himself, as the verso is blank, and the hand-writing seems to be unskilled. The complete title: Risalat al-hayawan min rasa'il ikhwan as-safa wa-khullan al-wafa ("The Epistle on Animals of The Encyclopaedia of the Brethren of Purity and Loyal Friends").
