About this record
- Content
Five passages in Persian supposedly taken from the writings of Jābir ibn Ḥayyān. The main bulk of the corpus of texts attributed to this semi-legendary figure, however, are thought to have been composed between the second half of the 9th century and first half 10th century. Since this text begins with the Testament of Ṭughrāʾī (d. 515/1121), it cannot be true that these passages were all extraced from writings attributed to Jābir ibn Ḥayyān.
Begins (f. 66v, lines 2-5):
فصل وصية مؤيد الدين أبو اسمعيل الطغرائی از تدابير جابر
ميگويد اي پسر من چون از درويشی بترسيد بران كوه شويد كه بربالای شماست
وتوانگري ميروياند بگيريد آنرا وبا اصل خودش يريد كه پیس از ان رسته است
وبالا گرفته جزوهاى لطيف كه ثفلش واین نشيند وآبى زندگانی بزرگ قدروبها
Ends (f. 67v, lines 11-15):
... ونفس وروح
وجسد وزحل وجسدش ومشتری وارزپر سياه بس چون باز سبيد شد
نامهاى ديگر تهند (؟) آتش حكيمان وزيبق مصعّد وقمر مكلّس ونحاس وآنكه تاريكى
از دبشده باشد گويند كه شرمۀ سفيد ومغنيسياى سفيد ومرد اسنگ سبيد
وقمر وزیل القمر وزیل الشمس خوانند
