Scope and Content

A substantial fragment of a compendium of knowledge, imperfect at the beginning and at the end, consisting of the following sections :. ff 1r-99v : A text on medicine, giving the medicinal properties of various substances. Seven maqalat divided into fasl are left of the complete text, with the last one dealing with perfume. The last part of this final section is missing;. ff 100r-125v : The 14th part of a maqalat of an astrological work that, apparently, consisted of 16 maqalat. This includes the first fasl on kevakib (heavenly bodies). The manuscript suffers from a number of lacunae, including after 3v, 7v, 48v, 89v, 99v, and 100b. It was likely copied in the first half of the 16th century CE.
