<p class="indent">This popular plague tract by <font face= "Arial Unicode MS">Ṭ</font>āshköprüzāde is composed of an introduction (<em>muqaddimah</em>), two chapters (<em>maslaks</em>), a conclusion (<em>khatimah</em>) and an appendix (<em>tadhyil</em>). The introduction has four subdivisions (<em>matlabs</em>), and the appendix consists of six <em>matlabs</em>. Religious treatises and scholars are the primary source, but the third <em>matlab</em> of the appendix concerns the cause of plague (<em>ta‘un</em>) according to physicians. The final <em>matlab</em> of the appendix is on the treatment of plague and is divided into two <em>maqsid</em>: one on physical treatments and the other on spiritual treatment. For the latter, <a href="b_d.html#buni">Abū al-‘Abbas Sharaf al-Dīn A<font face= "Arial Unicode MS">ḥ</font>mad al-Bunī</a> is given as a major source, and there are a number of talismanic designs and <a href="glossary.html#magic">magic squares</a> illustrated. </p>
|
||
|
||
<p class="indent">The treatise ends with an enumeration, based on the account of the Basran compiler and historian Abū al-Hasan ‘Alī ibn Mu<font face= "Arial Unicode MS">ḥ</font>ammad al-Mada’inī (d. 843/228), of five instances of plagues in Islamic lands: (1) in al-Mada'in in the year 628/6, (2) in 'Amawas (or 'Amwas) in Syria between Ramalah and Jerusalem in the year 640/17-18, (3) the plague called the Plague of the Torrent occurring in Basra in 684/64 in which 300,000 people were said to die during three days, (4) the Plague of the Young Women occurring in 706/87 in Basra, Wasit and Kufah and Syria, and (5) a plague occurring in 749/131. For this chronology of plagues, see L.I. Conrad, "Arabic Plague Chronologies and Treatises: Social and historical factors in the formation of a literary genre," <em>Studia Islamica</em>, vol. 54, 1981, pp. 51-93.</p>
