<p class="indent">The opening <a href="glossary.html#folio">folio</a> of an anonymous compilation on <em>material medica</em> said to be taken from <em>al-Bay&#257;n</em>, presumably a reference to the popular pharmaceutical compendium <em>Minhaj al-Bay&#257;n</em> by <a href="bioI.html#jazlah">Ibn Jazlah</a> (<a href="glossary.html#d">d.</a> 1100/493). The copy is highly annotated. It is undated and unsigned but appears to have been made in the 18<sup>th</sup> century.</p>
<br class="clearboth" />
<h2><span class="h2blue">Physical Description</span></h2>
<p class="indent">Arabic. 11 <a href="glossary.html#leaves">leaves</a> (fols. 54b-64b). <a href="glossary.html#dimensions">Dimensions</a> 23.2 x 15.8 (text area 17.8 x 11.5) cm; 22-3 lines per page. On folio 54b the title is given as <em>Mulaffaq min al-Bay&#257;n</em> (<em>A Compilation Taken from al-Bayan</em>). No author of the compilation is given, and it is possible that it refers to another writer, <a href="bioI.html#bayan">Ibn Abi al-Bay&#257;n</a> (d. 1240/638). However, since Ibn Jazlah's treatise is often referred to simply as <em>al-Bay&#257;n</em> ('The Explanation'), it seems likely that it is his treatise from which this was extracted. A precise alignment, however, has not yet been established.</p>
<p class="indent">The copy is undated. The general appearance of the paper, ink, and script suggests a date of the 18th century.</p>
<p class="indent">The extract consists mostly of recipes accompanied by <a href="glossary.html#marginalia">marginalia</a> that essentially form a commentary. Most of the text is written by the same person who transcribed the previous item. It is an inelegant medium-large <a href="glossary.html#naskh">naskh</a> script using black ink with headings in red and red <a href="glossary.html#overlinings">overlinings</a>. On the last folio, however, the hand changes slightly; it is a similar, but smaller, hand with 26 lines per page. There are <a href="glossary.html#catchword">catchwords</a>.</p>
<p class="indent">There are copious <a href="glossary.html#marginalia">marginalia</a> filling nearly all the margins, mostly in the same hand as the <a href="glossary.html#copyist">copyist</a>.</p>
<p class="indent">The ivory paper is thick and stiff, with visible vertical <a href="glossary.html#laid">laid lines</a> and single <a href="glossary.html#chain">chain lines</a> (no evident <a href="glossary.html#watermarks">watermarks</a>). It is damp stained and soiled through thumbing.</p>
<p class="indent">The volume consists of 186 <a href="glossary.html#leaves">leaves</a>. It is a mixed volume with 18 different items in it, copied by at least two different copyists.

Item 7 (fols. 76a-96b) is the anonymous treatise on materia medica (<a href="pharmaceutics26.html#a87item7">MS A 87, item 7</a>); item 8 (fols. 97a-100a) an anonymous tract on medicinal oils (<a href="pharmaceutics37.html#a87item8">MS A 87, item 8</a>), and item 9 (fols. 100b-121a) a magical-medical treatise by <a href="bioI.html#tumart"> Ibn T&#363;mart al-Maghrib&#299;</a> (<a href="magical1.html">MS A 87, item 9</a>). Item 10 (fols. 121b-125a) is an anonymous alphabetical list of medicaments (<a href="pharmaceutics27.html">MS A 87, item 10</a>), and item 11 (fols. 125b-140b) is the commentary on an identified "poem on the principles of the art of medicine" (<a href="poetry_15.html">MS A 87, item 11</a>).

Item 17 (fols. 182a-184b) is an anonymous treatise titled <em> D&#257;'ir mu<font face= "Arial Unicode MS">&#7717;</font>ibb f&#299; &#8216;ilm al-<font face= "Arial Unicode MS">&#7789;</font>ibb </em>, on magical medicine (<a href="magical3.html">MS A 87, item 17</a>), while the final item, item 18 (fols. 185a-186b), is an anonymous essay on the numerical values of letters and <a href="glossary.html#magic">magic squares</a> (<a href="astrology5.html#a87item18">MS A 87, item 18</a>).</p>
