<p class="indent">This Persian metrical compendium on therapeutics was composed in 1388/790 and written entirely in verse. It was known under two titles, "Shih&#257;b's Medicine" and the more formal title of "The Healing of Diseases". The metrical therapeutic guide consists of 164 chapters (<em>babs</em>) and includes considerable autobiographical material at the beginning and the end. It served also as one of the main sources for a much later anonymous Persian prose treatise on the treatment of diseases titled <em>Tuhfat al-mujarrabat</em> that is preserved in numerous copies today (<em>see</em> <a href="abbreviation.html#keshavarzW">Keshavarz, "Wellcome"</a>, pp. 201-3 no. 75).</p>
<p class="indent">For other copies, <em>see</em> <a href="abbreviation.html#storey2">Storey PL II,2</a>, p. 224.</p>
