<p class="indent">The most productive translator of Greek medical and scientific treatises into Arabic was <font face= "Arial Unicode MS">Ḥ</font>unayn ibn Is<font face= "Arial Unicode MS">ḥ</font>āq, who died in 873 or 877 (260 or 264 H). Known to Europeans as Johannitius, <font face= "Arial Unicode MS">Ḥ</font>unayn also composed a number of original medical writings, including the influential <em>Questions on Medicine for Beginners</em> (<em>Kitāb al-Masā’il fī al-<font face= "Arial Unicode MS">ṭ</font>ibb lil-muta‘allimīn</em>). A number of commentaries were written on <font face= "Arial Unicode MS">Ḥ</font>unayn's popular introduction to medicine, one of the most important being that by Ibn Abī <font face= "Arial Unicode MS">Ṣ</font>ādiq, who died shortly after 1068/460 H.</p>

|

<p class="indent">NLM has a copy of the commentary by Ibn Abī <font face= "Arial Unicode MS">Ṣ</font>ādiq on <font face= "Arial Unicode MS">Ḥ</font>unayn's <em>Questions on Medicine for Beginners</em>. It is an important copy because of its apparent age (thirteenth-century). For other copies of the commentary by Ibn Abī <font face= "Arial Unicode MS">Ṣ</font>ādiq, <em>see</em> <a href="abbreviation.html#dietrich">Dietrich, <em>Medicinalia</em></a>, p. 43-4 no. 15; <a href="abbreviation.html#ullmannM">Ullmann, <em>Medizin</em></a>, p. 160 note 4; <a href="abbreviation.html#gal"><em>GAL</em></a> vol. 1 p. 484 (638) and <a href="abbreviation.html#gals"><em>GAL-S</em></a> vol. 1, p. 886-7; and Yale, Beineke Library MS 1506. The copy in the Bodleian Library, Oxford, (MS Marsh 98) was copied in 1235/639H and was used for teaching purposes by a famous physician Muwaffaq al-Din Ya‘qub al-Samiri (d. 1281), for it has an <a href="glossary.html#ijazah">ijazah</a> signed by him certifying that a pupil of his named Amin al-Dawlah Tadrus ibn Nasr ibn Malik studied and mastered its contents.</p>

<p class="indent">The commentary by Ibn Abī <font face= "Arial Unicode MS">Ṣ</font>ādiq has not been published in a modern translation or edition.

Moussa, Ph.D., of the Ninth Century Arabic Text, "Al Masā’il fī al-<font face= "Arial Unicode MS">ṭ</font>ibb lil muta‘allimin (Cairo: Al-Ahram Center for Scientific Translations, 1980), p. 46-70.

No author or title is given in the <a href="glossary.html#manuscript">manuscript</a>; the title has been supplied by the cataloguer. The treatise has been identified by comparing it with copies preserved in other libraries; the text in MS A 66 corresponds to that in London, Wellcome Library, MS Arab. 2, beginning at fol. 149a. </p>
|
||
|

<p class="indent">MS A 66 is only a fragment of the commentary by Ibn Abī <font face= "Arial Unicode MS">Ṣ</font>ādiq on <em>Masā’il fī <font face= "Arial Unicode MS">ṭ</font>ibb</em> (<em>Questions on Medicine</em>) written by <font face= "Arial Unicode MS">Ḥ</font>unayn ibn Is<font face= "Arial Unicode MS">ḥ</font>āq. It contains the section of the commentary concerned with the preparation of drugs and the beginning of the section on arterial pulse. The words of the text by <font face= "Arial Unicode MS">Ḥ</font>unayn are referred to as <em>al-fass</em>, and the commentary by Ibn Abī <font face= "Arial Unicode MS">Ṣ</font>ādiq called <em>al-tafsir</em>. The folios in this copy are misbound and should be read in the following sequence: 48-75, 31-47, 11-30, 1-10. </p>

<p class="indent">This manuscript (MS A 66) was incorrectly identified by Sommer (<a href="abbreviation.html#schullian">Schullian/Sommer</a>, <em>Cat. of incun. & MSS</em>, p. 319) as a commentary on the <em>Aphorisms</em> (<em>sharh fusul</em>) of <a href="bioH.html#hippocrates">Hippocrates</a>--a suggestion someone has written in English on fol. 1a. Sommer suggested that the author of the commentary might be Ibn Abī <font face= "Arial Unicode MS">Ṣ</font>ādiq (well-known for his commentary on the <em>Aphorisms</em>) or by <a href="bioI.html#alquff">Ibn al-Quff</a> (a thirteenth-century Syrian physician who is known to have written such a commentary). Comparison with other manuscripts, however, demonstrates that it is a fragment of Ibn Abī <font face= "Arial Unicode MS">Ṣ</font>ādiq's commentary on the popular treatise by <font face= "Arial Unicode MS">Ḥ</font>unayn ibn Is<font face= "Arial Unicode MS">ḥ</font>āq.</p>
|
||
|
||
|
||
<p class="indent">The manuscript itself is undated, but the appearance of the paper, ink, and handwriting suggests a date of about 1250 to 1300.</p>

At a later date the folios were numbered with <a href="glossary.html#arabic">Arabic numerals</a> 2-76; the volume has been recently renumbered in <a href="glossary.html#western">Western numerals</a>. The paper is water damaged, stained, and slightly wormeaten; the edges have been trimmed from their original size. Fol. 23 has a tear in the center and fol. 29 has been crudely conserved; repairs have been made to fols. 1-3 with minor repairs to other folios.</p>
