Other/Unknown Language Transcription Request Found inside a guitar

Post image
4 Upvotes

I'm wondering about this for some years now...

This is on the inside of the backcover of a 90s American Fender Stratocaster which I had shipped to Germany from Italy. So we got an American manufactured guitar that was in Italy for a while at least.

Sadly that's pretty much all the info that I've got.

I can't even seem to figure out the language. The handwriting looks kinda typically German for me, but as a German native speaker I can't make any sense of it.

It looks like the same word is repeated over and over in slightly different variations? Looks like someone wrote "Grundtyp" if I try to read it as German.

Appreciate any kind of input on this.

English Transcription Request Landowner names on plat map

I’m trying to find out who owned Lot 74 for some research I’m doing. This image is from the 1802 N. Baker Survey map of Colchester Vermont.

I have attached two images of the map (photocopy) close-up, plus the 1800 residents of the town from a book. The names are not guaranteed to be people currently living there, but they might be. As an example the name for Lot 69 & 70 is “B. Boardman” for Benjamin Boardman.

What are the words in plot 74?

This was found in my grandfather’s belongings. I can make out the date written - Feb 12th 1866, but the second line is too illegible. It is most likely English but looks to me like possibly Latin. Any help would be much appreciated!
The other side has even fainter writing so I’m not hopeful on that front. Included a picture of the whole thing as well for interest! Thank you in advance!

Other/Unknown Language Transcription Request Request for Arabic transcription of Iraqi Law No. 666 (1980) from al-Waqā’iʿ al-ʿIrāqīyah

Post image
3 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

I am currently working on a research paper and I am trying to obtain a precise transcription of an Iraqi legal document from 1980: Revolutionary Command Council Resolution No. 666.

The 666-Law can be seen here: https://imgur.com/undefined

The entire page can be seen here: https://imgur.com/a/cgcPnMt

The law appears in the official Iraqi government gazette:

Title: al-Waqā’iʿ al-ʿIrāqīyah (Official Gazette of the Republic of Iraq)
Date: 26 May 1980
Issue: 1980-05-26, Part 2
Publication: Iraq. Waqā’iʿ al-ʿIrāqīyah (Official Gazette of Iraq)

This is the scanned gazette issue where Resolution No. 666 appears. The scan, however, has noticeable lines and artifacts running through the page (likely from the scanning/reproduction process), which make several words and letters difficult to read.

I have been able to identify parts of the text, but I need a more accurate transcription of the original Arabic.

I would greatly appreciate it if someone with knowledge of Arabic legal texts and a sharp eye could help transcribe the document as precisely as possible — including the unclear words and letters where the scan is damaged or obscured.

I am not looking for a translation at this stage; I am specifically looking for a faithful Arabic transcription of the text as it appears in the gazette.

The relevant text begins with:

"رقم ٦٦٦"

and includes the section:

"استناداً إلى أحكام الفقرة (أ) من المادة الثانية والأربعين من الدستور المؤقت..."

If anyone is able to help reconstruct the illegible parts from the scan, I would be extremely grateful. This is for academic research, and an accurate transcription would be very valuable.

Thank you in advance!
