The third chapter of this version discusses diseases associated with specific parts of the body, while the fourth concerned those diseases, such as fevers and skin complaints, not specific to any one part. There is also a brief addendum on the occult properties of certain substances.</p>

No author or title appears in the <a href="glossary.html#manuscript">manuscript</a>; the title is taken from other copies of the text. The author's identity has been established by comparison with <a href="chemical_medicine3.html">NLM MS A 12</a>, which, from fol. 1 line 5, is virtually identical with this manuscript from fol. 1b line 20. A later hand has written on prelim fol. [1a] and fol. 1a, which is otherwise blank, the phrase: <em>Hadha Kitāb Hibat Allāh fī al-tibb</em> (translation: <em>This is the book of Hibat Allāh on medicine</em>); these notes and the statement at the start of the table of contents led Sommer (<a href="abbreviation.html#schullian">Schullian/Sommer</a>, <em>Cat. of incun. & MSS</em>, p. 307) to suggest that the author of the treatise might be <a href="bioI.html#jumay">Hibat Allāh Ibn Jumay‘</a> who died in 1198; this is clearly not the case, as it is a much later treatise citing European seventeenth-century writers, such as Daniel Sennert (fol. 50b).</p>
|
|
|
|
<p class="indent"> The copy is dated 1 Jumadá II 1241 (= 11 January 1826) on fol. 91a, lines 4-5. The copyist's name (partially illegible) is given as Mu<font face= "Arial Unicode MS">ḥ</font>ammad ibn Mu<font face= "Arial Unicode MS">ḥ</font>ammad al-Af..?.. al-<font face= "Arial Unicode MS">Ḥ</font>anafī (fol. 91a line 6). </p>

<p class="indent"> The first <em>maqalah</em> on general principles occupies fols. 1b-11b, the second on simple and compound remedies fols. 11b-39a, the third on diseases of the bodily parts fols. 39a-79a, and the fourth on diseases not associated with one part fols. 79a-90b; an addendum (<em>khatimah</em>) discusses special magical powers of certain substances (fols. 90b-91a).</p>
|
|
|
|
<p class="indent"> The text is written in a medium-large North African Maghribi script, using dark-brown ink with headings in red and green. The text area has been <a href="glossary.html#frame">frame-ruled</a>, and the text is written within <a href="glossary.html#frames">frames</a> formed of one green and two red lines.

|
<p class="indent"> There are a few marginal notations in Arabic. A recent reader has placed penciled X's in the margins near the names of cited authorities and provided transliterated European names such as <em>Shanaritus</em> for Sennert (fol. 64a).</p>

<p class="indent"> The opaque, beige paper is matte-finished and has neither <a href="glossary.html#laid">laid lines</a>

<p class="indent">The volume consists of 91 leaves and 5 preliminary ones. Fols. 1a and 91b are blank except for a short title by a later hand on folio 1a. Preliminary fols. [1]a-[3]a are blank except for penciled annotations on [1]a giving author and title. Prelim. fols. [3b] to [5b] contain a guide to the contents of the manuscript, written in the same hand as the main text; this index has the title:<em> Hadha barnamaj mufradat Kitāb Hayat [sic] Allāh al-Hakīm</em> (translation: <em>This is the listing of topics of the book of Hayat Allāh the physician</em>); Sommer transcribed the name as Hibat Allah. </p>

<h2><span class="h2blue">Binding</span></h2>
