<p class="indent">This is an anonymous Persian treatise on medicaments, presented in alphabetical order, and on various aspects of regimen and the maintenance of health. It has been written as a marginal text by the same copyist who transcribed the medical poetry in the central portions of each <a href="glossary.html#folio">folio</a>.</p>
<p class="indent">No other copies have been identified.</p>
<h2><span class="h2blue">Physical Description</span></h2>
<p class="indent">Persian. 160 <a href="glossary.html#leaves">leaves</a> (fols.2a-195a and 161a-162b). <a href="glossary.html#dimensions">Dimensions</a> c. 22 x 13.2; text area is the space between outside frames measuring 17.5 x 19.2 cm and the frames surrounding the central text which measure 11.8 x 6.9cm. The text is written diagonally in the margins. No author is given. The title <em>Kit&#257;b <font face= "Arial Unicode MS">&#7716;</font>ifz al-<font face= "Arial Unicode MS">&#7779;</font>i<font face= "Arial Unicode MS">&#7717;</font><font face= "Arial Unicode MS">&#7717;</font>ah</em> is taken from a line on fol. 161a where it states it is the end of the treatise. Immediately thereafter, however, there is a chapter (<em>fasl</em>) on a drink.</p>
<p class="indent">The copy is undated. The appearance of the paper, ink, and script suggests a date of the late 17th to early 18th century. It must have been completed before an owner's signature and stamp was placed in it in 1796/1211 H.</p>
<p class="indent">This prose text is written in the margins around a central area containing Persian medical poetry. The central texts and the marginal text were executed by the same hand, in a medium-small careful, professional <a href="glossary.html#taliq">ta&#8216;liq</a> tending toward <a href="glossary.html#naskh">naskh</a> script. The text area has been <a href="glossary.html#frame">frame-ruled</a>, and space was allowed for <a href="glossary.html#frames">frames</a> to enclose the metrical treatise; on fols. 2a-65b frames of two blue lines enclose the central text, but they were not drawn on the remaining <a href="glossary.html#folio">folios</a>, although space was left for them. Black ink with headings in red and green. There are later interlinear and marginal notes.</p>
<p class="indent">The thick, opaque, slightly-glossy yellow-brown paper has only indistinct <a href="glossary.html#laid">laid lines</a> occasionally visible. The paper is waterstained. Some leaves have been repaired and strengthened; folios 2 and 3 are <a href="glossary.html#guarded">guarded</a>. The edges have been trimmed from their original size.</p>
<p class="indent">The volume consists of 162 <a href="glossary.html#leaves">leaves</a> and one preliminary <a href="glossary.html#folio">folio</a>. The preliminary folio and folio 1a are blank. The volume contains a collection of 8 metrical treatises on medical topics in addition to a fragment of an encyclopaedia. Item 1 (fol. 1b) is a fragment of an abridgement of an encyclopaedia by <a href="bioJ.html#jurjani">Jurj&#257;n&#299;</a> (<a href="E11_E13.html#E13">MS P 25, item 1</a>); item 2 (fols. 2a-80a) is the poem by <a href="bioA.html#alishaykh">&#8216;Al&#299; ibn shaykh Mu<font face= "Arial Unicode MS">&#7717;</font>ammad ibn &#8216;Abd al-Ra<font face= "Arial Unicode MS">&#7717;</font>m&#257;n</a> (<a href="poetry_10.html#p25item2">MS P 25, item 2</a>); item 3 (fols. 80b-95a) a poem possibly based on a treatise by <a href="bioJ.html#jurjani">Jurj&#257;n&#299;</a> (<a href="poetry_5.html#p25item3">MS P 25, item 3</a>); item 4 (fols. 95a-98b) anon. poem on cure in a hour possibly based on a treatise by <a href="bioR.html#razi">R&#257;z&#299;</a> (<a href="poetry_11.html#p25item4">MS P 25, item 4</a>); item 5 (fols. 99a-117a) versification of a treatise by <a href="bioJ.html#jaghmini">Jaghm&#299;n&#299;</a> (<a href="C7_C10.html#C10">MS P 25, item 5</a>); item 6 (fols. 117b-118a) anon. poem on leprosy (<a href="poetry_11.html#p25item6">MS P 25, item 6</a>); item 7 (fols. 118b-156b) anonymous Turkish poem with Persian commentary (<a href="poetry_11.html#p25item7">MS P 25, item 7</a>); item 8 (fols. 157b-160b) anon. poem on regimen and therapy (<a href="poetry_11.html#p25item8">MS P 25, item 8</a>); item 9 (fols. 161a-162a) anon. poem on materia medica (<a href="poetry_11.html#p25item9">MS P 25, item 9</a>). The marginal item occuring on fols. 2a-159a and 160a-162b is an anonymous prose treatise on materia medica and regimen is here catalogued. There are occasional unexplained blank central spaces on leaves where the marginal treatise continues around the edges of the folios. In two of these central blank spaces (fols. 75a and 76a) a much more recent and casual hand has placed two 16x16 <a href="glossary.html#magic">magic squares</a>. The order of the leaves comprising the volume may not be entirely correct.</p>
<h2><span class="h2blue">Binding</span></h2>
<p class="indent">The volume is bound in a modern library <a href="glossary.html#bindings">binding</a> of <a href="glossary.html#pasteboards">pasteboards</a> covered with tan leather, with "<em>Khamrah Agha, Jawahir al-maqal 1796</em>" in <a href="glossary.html#gilt">gilt</a> on the spine. There are modern <a href="glossary.html#pastedowns">pastedowns</a> and <a href="glossary.html#endpapers">endpapers</a>.</p>
<h2><span class="h2blue">Provenance</span></h2>
<p class="indent">At five places in the volume (fols. 75a, 76a, 95a, 98b, and 162b) a later hand in a good calligraphic script has repeated the same statement: "The owner and possessor of this medical book called <em>Jawahir al-maqal</em> is <a href="bioK.html#khamrah">Khamrah Agh&#257; ibn Rustum ibn Mu<font face= "Arial Unicode MS">&#7717;</font>ammad Agh&#257; ibn Khi<font face= "Arial Unicode MS">&#7693;</font>r Agh&#257; ibn M&#299;r Khamrah
ibn M&#299;r M&#299;z&#257; ibn A<font face= "Arial Unicode MS">&#7717;</font>mad Beg</a>, in the year 1211 [= 1796-7]." An owner's stamp accompanies these statements. Sommer (<a href="abbreviation.html#schullian">Schullian/Sommer</a>, <em>Cat. of incun. &amp; MSS.,</em> p. 338) interpreted this name as referring to the compiler of the collection, giving the name as Khamrah Agh&#257; ibn Rustam Agh&#257; ibn Mu<font face= "Arial Unicode MS">&#7717;</font>ammad; the name, however, is clearly that of a later owner.</p>
<p class="indent">The volume was bought in 1941 by the Army Medical Library from A.S. Yahuda, who acquired it in Ebril in northern Iraq (ELS 1685 med 45).</p>
