N. A.                                                                                                                                        

Manuscript, Beirut - Lebanon, [pre-WW I].

Original manuscript document in Ottoman Turkish. 37 x 24 cm. Approximately 85 articles written in 14 lines. 1 page. Black ink on paper. A minuscule wormhole in the centre (not affecting the text). Folded.

This manuscript document contains a detailed list of medicines and natural herbs such as sage, fern, linden, henna, quinine, and opium, alongside many other botanicals specific to the region. Several of these names are written in Arabic script.

The document likely originates from a time shortly after the end of Ottoman rule in the Levant, as it references cities like Tripoli and Beirut, which remained under Ottoman control until the French occupation following World War I.
