About this item
- Content
Treatise on zoology in five chapters (مقالات) by Sharaf al-Zamān Ṭāhir al-Marwazī (شرف الزمان طاهر المروزي; fl. 1056-1125). Collation with the two other known copies of this text (British Library, Delhi Arabic 1949 and UCLA, MS Ar. 52) shows that this copy contains a portion of chapter one (ends f. 13r), the whole of chapters two through four and a portion of chapter 5 (see Stern, 'Some Fragments of Galen's On Dispositions [Περὶ ἠθῶν] in Arabic', Classsical Quarterly , new series 6, (1956) pp. 268-69 and note 18).
Begins (f. 1r, lines 1-2 [defective at beginning]):
عنه يتحرك إلى جهات شتى فيكون ذلك المبدأ هو الخر (؟) من المنى الذي إذا اتحكم وصار نضوه
كان قلبًا فيجب إذن أن يكون أول وعاء يتكون هو وعاء الروح ويكون في أول الحلقة غير محسوس
Ends (f. 209r, lines 14-17 [defective at end]):
... هو غطاء الصدف شبه صدف الفرفير يسمي
أبو خيس وهو طيب الرائحة لأنّ حيوانه يرفع الباردين وأجوده بالوحد في حر القلم (؟ ...)
وقد يوجد ببلاد الهند في المياه القائمة الشعيرة والذي يوتي به من بحر ولزم لونه
(...) البياض دسم وقديري به من من أبواد (؟) ويكون لونه أسود وهو أصغر وكلاهما طيبا
