A work which preserves in part the tested experience of "philosophers, physicians, and teachers" in the field of experimental medicine. The first 65 pages of the manuscript present remedies for common illnesses. The title which is written in red, takes the form: "Remedy for illness x.", the composition of the concoction then follows in black. The ingredients are organic and of herbal or animal sources. Some limited superstition elements enter in few suggested remedies. While it is difficult to identify this treatise with the well known manuscript in this field, it would be worth while to compare it with the Mujarrabāt of Dhū al-Nūn al-Miṣrī (d. A.H. 245/C.E.800), that of ʻAbdullāh Muḥammad ibn Yūsuf al-Ḥasanī al-Sanūsī (d. A.H. 890/C.E. 1485), and that of ibn Sīnā (d. A.H. 428/C.E. 1037). The last 12 folios consist of tables of diseases, their physical signs, and some prescriptions.--Emilie Savage.
