Archivist's note
Although the manuscript itself is not dated, one may note that the Lanterne Sourde was published in the period 1921-1931. See also Hala Halim, Alexandrian Cosmopolitanism: An Archive (Fordham University Press, New York 2013, p. 115), where it is estimated that the text dates to 1928.
