The top says something like: "Release of the Yakah", or "Start of" or "Beginning of" or "Muzzle of, such in guns"
The bottom: "and sons"

"release of the yakah"??
That sounds like an episode of the original Star Trek series! 
Seriously, it must be the beginning of the maqam cycle, you think?
Thanks, Elie.

here it could be something like:
infinite yakah
absolute yakah
yakah unlimited
I mean this might be 'moutlaq' not 'moutliq'
not sure though

Hello Jameel
Can you show us the whole writing. What is it? Is it an oud rossette?

Hello Mr. Dalkilic,
It is a rosette from a 1917 Abdo Nahat.

It is just beautiful !
I read the top part as MUTLAK YEGAH
Yegah means "first place-first home- first place" in Ottoman Turkish combining Persian "Yek" and "Gah". We also use same when we call DU-GAH SE-GAH,
CHAR-GAH, PENC-GAH. They also are the names of makams as well as notes.
Yegah is considered the mother of makams by some music theorists like Meragi and Rauf Bey. I can assume the MUTLAK is to identify the importance of
the makam YE-GAH. I do not know or heard of a makam called "Mutlak yegah"
Just a thought!!
Regards
Dincer

Hi Jameel
Is it just this phrase you are stuck on, or do you need help with the rest of the text in the outer circles?
Best wishes
David

nahat the last is and his sons, so its Abdu nahat and sons, the upper is Motlaq yakah maybe they mean the maqam Yakah, maybe

bro if you take a look under the number 47 they wrote Jaw alhijaz, the feeling or condition of hijaz, 47 is jaw alnawa and he is talking about maqams
so the yakah thing is about the maqam i hope i helped
best regards,

Hi
I think the outer circle just lists the names of the notes in Arabic:
1 = qarar nim hisar
2 = qarar hisar
3 = qarar tik hisar
etc.
(See my website http://www.oud.eclipse.co.uk/arabnotes.html )
Inside that, the 14 divisions seem to be "burj al-ashiran", "burj al-iraq", etc., corresponding to the groups of notes above??
Inside that, I can't make out much at all, but there seems to be a "buselik", "isfahan" and an "ushaq" amongst it!!
Hopefully this is some help.
David

Moutlaqul Yekah is definitely not the release of the yekah, that would be "Itlaqul Yekah" in arabic, the way this reads is something very close to
saying: "the released yekah", I am almost sure he means the open G string as opposed to a fingered G.

Hi Jameel,
Mutlaq in strings is an "open string" and Yagah is the low "G string"
"fladel" !!! is right.
