Complexities: Not all<br />

<strong>manuscripts</strong> of the Middle<br />

East are exclusively in Arabic<br />

script, even if their language<br />

is sometimes Arabic.<br />

Example: Christian prayer for<br />

after the noon meal. Greek<br />

and Arabic text. Egypt,<br />

possibly 13th century.<br />

Bilingual texts are often in<br />

use when the older of the two<br />

languages has become less<br />

well-known.<br />
