 i saw a letter from a lover to his beloved and his hand was cut with his knife and blood flowed from it and he drew from it and wrote the entire letter with it. i saw the letter after it had dried and i had no doubt that it was dyed with shellac.
ولقد رأيت كتاب المحب إلى محبوبه، وقد قطع في يده بسكين له فسال الدم واستمد منه وكتب به الكتاب أجمع. ولقد رأيت الكتاب بعد جفوفه فما شككت انه بصبغ اللك .
