<p class="indent">MS A 79 is a nearly complete copy of the longer version of the treatise on prophetic medicine which can with some assurance be attributed to al-Dhahab&#299;, though the author is not actually given in the <a href="glossary.html#manuscript">manuscript</a>. A penciled note in Latin characters on fol. 1a attributes this treatise to D&#257;&#8217;&#363;d ibn Ab&#299; al-Faraj, possibly following the attribution of Berlin MS We. 1200 (<em>Ahlwardt, Berlin</em>, entry no. 6298), which contains a similar text. Sommer accepted this attribution and catalogued the manuscript under <a href="b_d.html#faraj">D&#257;&#8217;&#363;d ibn Ab&#299; al-Faraj</a> (Schullian &amp; Sommer. Cat. of incun. &amp; MSS, p. 323) .</p>
<p class="indent">The copy is lacking the opening paragraphs. The treatise is divided into three chapters (<em>fanns</em>): on general principles, on drugs and foodstuffs, and on the therapy of diseases.</p>

There are <a href="glossary.html#catchword">catchwords</a>. The handwriting and paper of fols. 1, 8, 9, and 10 are different from the rest of volume and are probably replacements. The appearance of the script, paper, and ink suggest that it is a Syrian/Egyptian copy. Some <a href="glossary.html#folio">folios</a> are numbered with <a href="glossary.html#copticnum">Coptic numerals</a>.

<p class="indent">The biscuit paper (except for fols. 1, 8, 9, and 10) has a matte-finish and no visible laid lines, though on some leaves traces can be seen of chain lines in groups of 3's. Fols. 1, 8, 9, and 10 have horizontal <a href="glossary.html#laid">laid lines</a>, single <a href="glossary.html#chain">chain lines</a>, and <a href="glossary.html#watermarks">watermarks</a>. The paper is slightly wormeaten and is waterdamaged near the edges and soiled through thumbing.</p>
<p class="indent">The volume consists of 102 folios.</p>

<p class="indent">The <a href="glossary.html#bindings">binding</a> consists of <a href="glossary.html#pasteboards">pasteboards</a> covers and <a href="glossary.html#envelope">envelope flap</a> with brown leather edges, <a href="glossary.html#fore">fore-edge flap</a>, and spine. It is badly deteriorated. The paper <a href="glossary.html#pastedowns">pastedowns</a> are worm eaten and have miscellaneous scribblings, poems, and jottings, and a repetition of the date of the copy, all in later hands. There are modern <a href="glossary.html#endpapers">endpapers</a>.</p>
