Title: Haftad-o Du Pir (حەفتادو دو پیر – مەلا سەمەد)Date of original: circa 1920 CEFolio: 30 pages (sample upload)Type: Majmu'a
Content: Version of the 72 Pirs copied by Mela Samad, circa 1920. Shorter recension of the Barga Barga tradition. Polyphonic structure with multiple speakers contributing individual bands. Represents an earlier textual layer than YAR-005 (1948).
Condition: Endangered due to age and repeated handling. Paper is fragile, ink fading in margins. Digitization in 2006-2012 preserved the text before further loss.
Historical significance: Predates the 1940s protective Shi'a framing seen in YAR-004. This copy likely reflects the pre-pressure oral tradition of Daquq.
Provenance: Private family archive, Daquq. Copied by Mela Samad. Digitized by Azad Kakey.
Language: Gorani Kurdish (Arabic script).
