Notes
The issue of diplomatic health is a fundamental issue for the diplomat. Indeed, it is the first and most delicate issue he faces. (Al-Hilweh, 1965, p. 203) The diplomat achieves his goal of verifying it by studying the form, relying in this on the availability of a documentary accumulation by the creator that allows him to understand the rules of construction followed in issuing his various types of documents, and the extent to which these documents agree with them, and then determining their value as a historical witness. This goal encounters difficulties in achieving it sometimes for multiple reasons, including: documents lose everything that links them to their creator, and then it is difficult to verify the validity of their attribution to him. Here the formal study stops. At the level of description, it is an introduction to documentary evidence whose identity is not verified and whose authenticity is not verified in form or substance. The research presents a study of two sales documents belonging to the Ottoman era and claiming to have been issued by the “Wadi Halfa Sharia Court.” The research aims to discuss a methodological problem related to “source criticism.” When do we resort to it? How is it done? The first axis of the Diplomatic approach related to the study of “form” (internal and external description) was applied to the two documents.
