Title: Please help identify the language on page of old text
Post by: kdj on July 23, 2016, 01:58:24 pm

Could someone please help identify the language that the  text  is written in,  on this page? I was told it is from a religious text.  It is framed and under glass. It is at least vintage - again - from what I was told.
Thank you very much

 I agree - Middle East - Arabic -   this is going to bug me. I had a thought about the person whose estate sale this came from and there is a Jewish connection there... what do you think?

Someone previously said "arabiuc script and possibly an Indo-Persian language, it may be a page from a Koran or a Sufic text". No one is sure.
 If this is so, maybe I can find what it's age is.
Thank you!

My guess would be a page of text from the Quran, possibly North African Arabic.
