Evidence

"MS 12 Manuscript document; scroll; paper; Arabic; presumably a genealogical certificate (şecere) for a member of the Şeyh Ahmed Dede Ocağı; scribe: not mentioned; date: 1135 AH (1722/23 CE); place: Kerbela; size: not measured"

Remarks

This genealogical scroll (şecere) was produced in Kerbela in 1722/23 (p. 177). It serves to link the holders to the Prophet Muhammad and the Vefaiyye order (p. 168). The author identifies that the document has been physically manipulated, with passages altered or erased to suit the needs of later users (p. 168, footnote 70). Such scrolls were historically exhibited to followers during collective mourning in Muharrem (p. 168).
