The Maghribi Scroll with translation

Here is another scroll in the pseudo-arabic font. It is based on a Maghribi document from the 15th century.

In the Great Book of Allah, the merciful and generous are recorded all of the deeds of Mankind. Where are listed those who give tirelessly of themselves for the good of others, there is the name Alchamar Mor Taraid. Where are listed those who encourage others in the beauty of their arts and the intricacies of the sciences, there is the name Alchamar Mor Taraid. Where are listed those who bear arms in a just cause and fight chivalrously, there is the name Alchamar Mor Taraid. Although his place in Paradise is no doubt assured, it pleases the Sultan and Sultana of all the Oriental lands to give an earthly reward. Thus, on this tenth day of March in the thirty-fifth year of our Society do we raise Alchamar Mor Taraid to the ranks of the nobility by awarding him arms
