A well-loved* book *loved by insects, at least Thanks to the incredible work of @MmwProject we are getting some amazing Islamic manuscripts digitized and cataloged. This one may have to wait for our lace paper grant, though... (Lewis O 81)

Was not expecting this Sanskrit (?) printed waste on the back of a Mughal court portrait. Any help would be most welcome, for the sake of its digital record!
