<p class="indent">Galen's major physiological writing, <em>On the Usefulness of the Parts</em>, though written in Greek is usually referred to by its Latin title, <em>De usu partium.</em> It consists of seventeen books (<em>maqalah</em>s) and was translated into Arabic, from a Syriac text now lost, by <a href="bioH.html#hubaysh">Hubaysh</a>, the nephew of the translator and physician <a href="bioH.html#hunayn"><font face= "Arial Unicode MS">&#7716;</font>unayn ibn Is<font face= "Arial Unicode MS">&#7717;</font>&#257;q</a>, who died in 873 or 877 (260 or 264 H). Hubaysh's Arabic translation was then revised by <font face= "Arial Unicode MS">&#7716;</font>unayn himself, who had earlier prepared the Syriac version used by Hubaysh. This final Arabic version of <em>De usu partium</em> had great influence in medical literature throughout the Islamic world, from the 9th century through the 17th, from Persia to Spain.</p>
<p class="indent">Only four other copies of the Arabic translation are known to exist: Escorial (Spain) MS 850, copied in 1145/539H; Paris, Biblioth&#232;que Nationale de France MS arabe 2853 copied in 1283/682H; Manchester, John Rylands MS 809, undated ca. 17th century; and Baghdad, Iraq Museum MS 1378-5, undated ca. 16th century. <em>see</em> <a href="abbreviation.html#ullmannM">Ullmann, <em>Medizin</em></a>, p. 41 no. 15; <a href="abbreviation.html#sezgin">Sezgin <em>GAS III</em></a>, p. 106 no. 40; and Usamah Nasir Naqshabandi, <em>Makhtutat al-tibb wa-al-saydalah wa-al-baytarah fi Maktabat al-Muthaf al-&#8216;Iraqi</em> (Baghdad: Wizarat al-Thaqafah wa-al-I&#8216;lam, 1981) p. 361 no. 702.</p>
<p class="indent">An edition and English translation of the Arabic version of the sixteenth book (on nerves, veins, and arteries) of <em>De usu partium</em> has been prepared by E. Savage-Smith, <em>Galen on Nerves, Veins and Arteries: A critical edition, edition and translation from the Arabic, with notes, glossary and in introductory essay</em> (Ph.D. diss. University of Wisconsin-Madison, 1969; University Microfilms no. 69-22,480). The <a href="glossary.html#manuscript">manuscript</a> at NLM was not used in this edition since it is lacking the 16th and 17th book.</p>
<p class="indent">A summary (<em>jawami&#8216;</em>) of Galen's treatise attributed to one <a href="bioY.html#yahya2">Ya<font face= "Arial Unicode MS">&#7717;</font>y&#225; al-Na<font face= "Arial Unicode MS">&#7717;</font>w&#299;</a> is quoted is a passage added at the end of the fourteenth book in the NLM copy (<a href="glossary.html#folio">fol. 209a</a>). This synopsis is also quoted in the Paris manuscript. These are the only two references we have to such a summary being made by Ya<font face= "Arial Unicode MS">&#7717;</font>y&#225; al-Na<font face= "Arial Unicode MS">&#7717;</font>w&#299; (John the Grammarian or John Philoponus). There is a confusion of people known in Arabic as Ya<font face= "Arial Unicode MS">&#7717;</font>y&#225; al-Na<font face= "Arial Unicode MS">&#7717;</font>w&#299;: (1) the 6th-century Aristotelian commentator, John Philoponus, (2) the author of a commentary on <em>De usu partium</em>, who probably was a medical writer living in Alexandria in the late 6th or early 7th century whose Greek commentary on <em>De usu partium</em> was translated into Arabic by <a href="bioI.html#zurah">Ibn Zur&#8216;ah</a> in the 10th century, and (3) the author of the summary (<em>jawami&#8216;</em>) of <em>De usu partium</em>, who appears to be yet another, later, Arabic-speaking Yahya al-Nahwi. </p>
<p class="indent">The Greek original of Galen's treatise has been translated into English: <em>Galen, On the Usefulness of the Parts of the Body</em>, trans. M.T. May (Ithaca, NY: Cornell University Press, 1968, 2 vols.). The Greek text has been edited by G. Helmreich, <em>De usu partium libri XVII</em> (Leipzig: Teubner, 1907-9, 2 vols.). <em>see</em> also Gerhard Fichtner, <em>Corpus Galenicum: Verzeichnis der galenischen und pseudogalenischen Schriften</em> (T&#252;bingen: Institut f&#252;r Geschichte der Medizin, 1985; rev. ed. 1996) p. 19-20 nos. 17 and 18.</p>

<p class="indent">According to early Arabic sources, there were sixteen (or fifteen) <a href="glossary.html#galenic">Galenic</a> treatises, or groups of treatises, that were considered fundamental to medical teaching in pre-Islamic Alexandria and in the early centuries of Islam. These are often referred to as the Alexandrian "Canon" of Galenic treatises. One of these groups of fundamental writings were four short anatomical treatises that were intended as introductory texts in anatomy. The group comprised a treatise on bones for beginners, one on the anatomy of the muscles, one on the anatomy of the nerves, and one on the anatomy of the veins and arteries. <em>see</em> A.Z. Iskandar, "An Attempted Reconstruction of the Late Alexandrian Medical Curriculum," <em>Medical History</em>, vol. 20 (1976), p. 235-258.</p>
<p class="indent">The present <a href="glossary.html#manuscript">manuscript</a> is a copy of the treatise on bones for beginners, known in Latin as <em>De ossibus ad tirones</em>. For other copies of the Arabic text, <em>see</em> <a href="abbreviation.html#sezgin">Sezgin <em>GAS III</em></a>, p. 83-4 no. 7, and <a href="abbreviation.html#ullmannM">Ullmann, <em>Medizin</em></a>, p. 40 no. 13.</p>
<p class="indent">The Arabic translation of the treatise has not been published. The original Greek was edited and translated by M.G. Moore, <em>Galen: Introduction to the Bones</em> (Ph.D. dissertation, University of Michigan, 1969). Earlier English translations from the Greek were made by C.M. Goss and E. Goss Chodkowski, " 'On Bones for Beginners' by Galen of Pergamon: a translation with commentary," <em>American Journal of Anatomy</em>, vol. 169 (1984) p. 61-74, and by C. Singer, "Galen's Elementary Course on Bones," <em>Proceedings of the Royal Society of Medicine</em>, Section on History of Medicine, vol. 45 (1952) p. 767-776. The Greek text was published earlier in C.G. Kuehn, <em>Claudii Galeni opera omnia</em> (20 vols., Leipzig, 1821-1833), vol. 2, p. 732-778. <em>see</em> also Gerhard Fichtner, <em>Corpus Galenicum: Verzeichnis der galenischen und pseudogalenischen Schriften</em> (T&#252;bingen: Institut f&#252;r Geschichte der Medizin, 1985; rev. ed. 1996), p. 17-18 no. 12.</p>

The group comprised a treatise on bones for beginners, one on the anatomy of the muscles, one on the anatomy of the nerves, and one on the anatomy of the veins and arteries. <em>see</em> A.Z. Iskandar, "An Attempted Reconstruction of the Late Alexandrian Medical Curriculum," <em>Medical History</em>, volume 20 (1976), p. 235-258.</p>
<p class="indent">The present <a href="glossary.html#manuscript">manuscript</a> is a copy of the treatise on the anatomy of the muscles, known in Latin as <em>De musculorum dissectione</em> or <em>De musculorum dissectione ad tirones</em>. For other copies, <em>see</em> <a href="abbreviation.html#sezgin">Sezgin <em>GAS III</em></a>, p. 84-5 no. 8, and <a href="abbreviation.html#ullmannM">Ullmann, <em>Medizin</em></a>, p. 40 no. 13.</p>

<p class="indent">This treatise is a loosely organized assemblage of material on the structure of the human body and prognostics said to be by Galen. The <a href="glossary.html#manuscript">manuscript</a> at NLM appears to be the only preserved copy. </p>
<p class="indent">It opens with the statement that the constitution (<em>khalq</em>) of the human body consists of four divisions: the head, the hands, the abdomen and the legs. There follows an enumeration of the number of bones in each of these divisions and then the number of blood vessels in each, followed by a general discussion of the nature and propeties of the constitution (<em>khalq</em>) of some internal organs, such as the brain, liver, kidney, and spleen. Intermingled with this material is a section on palpitation (<em>majissah</em>) of the arteries (fol. 8b-9b) and a section (fol. 12a-13a) in which it is asserted that <a href="bioP.html#plato">Plato</a> the philosopher (<em>Aflatun al-filasuf</em>) maintained that the human body is divided into four aspects (<em>taba'i&#8216;</em>): the head, the chest, the belly, and the genitalia. On fol. 13a (line 10), the subject changes abruptly with a title, written in larger script, <em>Hikayat min akhbar al-salihin</em> (<em>Stories from Reports of Predecessors</em>) followed by three anecdotes. The first concerns <a href="glossary.html#hippocratic">Hippocrates</a> speaking to Mus&#225; [otherwise unidentified; possibly referring to Moses]; the second concerns a question addressed to Socrates by one (unnamed) of his students; and the third concerns a conversation between two of the <a href="glossary.html#orthodox">Orthodox caliphs</a>, <a href="bioA.html#abubakr">Ab&#363; Bakr</a> and <a href="bioA.html#aliibn">&#8216;Al&#299; ibn Ab&#299; Talib</a>. This section ends (fol. 13b line 8) with the statement that Hippocrates and Socrates are numbered amongst the Greeks, and that Plato was a descendent (<em>hafidh</em>) of <a href="bioI.html#idris">Idris</a>. Immediately following this anedoctal interlude is a short discourse on the examination of urine, with the title <em>Qala f&#299; sifat al-bawl</em> (<em>He Said Concerning the Property of Urine</em>). </p>
<p class="indent">Not only is the section of anecdotes clearly not by Galen, but the other parts of the treatise do not correspond with any Greek treatise known to be by Galen. The compilation is quite certainly a spurious attribution, though it may draw upon some <a href="glossary.html#galenic">Galenic</a> and pseudo-Galenic material. The manuscript was owned in the 19th-century by the translator into Turkish of the <em>Canon on Medicine</em> by <a href="bioA.html#avicenna">Avicenna</a> and head physician of the <a href="glossary.html#ottoman">Ottoman</a> Empire, <a href="bioM.html#mustafa">Mustafa Behcet</a>.</p>

<p class="indent">The manuscript itself is undated, but the appearance of the paper, ink, and handwriting suggests a date of the 15th century.</p>

The preliminary folio has some pencilled Turkish notes, some doodling by a reader, and the <a href="glossary.html#arabic">Arabic numeral</a> 606 written in blue ink.</p>
<p class="indent">No other copy appears to be recorded.
