About this item
- Content
Alphabetical dictionary of simple drugs drawing on the works of earlier medical texts a list of which and the abbreviations used to cite them is given on f. 1v, lines 7-14. In this copy the text is attributed to the Rasūlid sultan of Yemen al-Malik al-Ashraf ‘Umar (II) ibn Yūsuf ibn ‘Umar ibn ‘Alī ibn Rasūl (الملك الأشرف عمر بن يوسف بن عمر بن علي بن رسول, reg. 1295-6, see f. 99r, lines 12-13). Other copies attribute it to his father al-Malik al-Muẓaffar Yūsuf (I) ibn ‘Umar (الملك المظفر يوسف بن عمر, reg. 1250-95) or to both the father and son (see Ullmann, Manfred, Die Medizin im Islam [1970], p. 285).
The treatise is divided into two parts (جزؤان): letters alif-ṣād (ff. 1v-99r), and ḍād-yā’ (ff. 99r-153v, defective at end). Folios 143-153 are of different paper and copied by a later hand. The copy is defective at end, breaking off abruptly in the penultimate entry (= ed. al-Damyāṭī [2000], p. 404, line 10).
Begins (f. 1v, lines 2-4):
الحمد لله أوجد الأشياء بحكمته وابتدع المخلوقات إظهارًا لقدرة وفضل
الإنسان على سائر الحيوانات برحمته وجعل له دواء يقيه الداء بمشيئته وصلى
الله على رسوله سيدنا محمد خيرته من خليقته وعلى أصحابه ...
Ends (f. 153v, lines 29-30, defective at end):
... ينبوت ع ح هو خرنوب المـ[...]
وقيل إنه الخرنوب النبطي ومن الينبوت نوع (؟) شجرة عظيمـ[ـة] كـ[ـشجرة] التفاح الكبيرة ورقها أصغر من ورق التفاح ولها ثمر أصغر من ورق الـ[...]
