About this item

Content

A short work on medicine composed upon request, as the author Naṣīr al-Dīn Muḥammad ibn Muḥammad al-Ṭūsī (نصير الدين محمد بن محمد الطوسي; d. 1274) relates in the preface, in response to the ailments of unidentified prince (see preface, f. 1r, line 9-2r, line 1).

Its 18 short chapters (أبواب) cover physiology, drugs, and dietetics with a particular focus on aphrodisiacs and the attainment of sexual potency and pleasure (see contents and introduction, ff. 2r, line 2-6v, line 5).

The second unnumbered flyleaf bears a list of months in the Ottoman Turkish calendar (f. ii-v).

Begins (f. 1r, lines 2-6):

الحمد لله رب العالمين وصلى الله على سيدنا محمد وآله

وصحبه أجمعين وبعد فإن الله تعالى قد كمل

النفوس الناطقة الإنسانية بمواهب إنعامه

وملأ معادن خواطر الحكماء بإعلامه لهم جواهر

حكمته كما قال الله سبحانه...

Ends (f. 31v, lines 1-4):

تم الكتاب بعون الملك الوهاب وهذه...

اللطيفة هي التركيبات العجيبة النافعة المفيدة التي

هي من أسرار الأطباء ومن اختصاراتهم المفيدة لأنها

جعلت لخزانة سلطان من السلاطين المسلمين لنفع
