About this item

Content

An anonymous and untitled commentary on the alchemical didactic poem al-Qaṣīdah al-nūnīyah by Abū al-Iṣbaʿ ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz ibn Tammām al-ʿIrāqī (fl. late 4th AH/AD 10th century). Sezgin lists manuscripts of five commentaries on this poem ( GAS 4, p. 290; see also Ullmann, 1972, p. 220).

Begins (ff. 96v, line 17 - 97r, line 4):

قال بعض الشراح لقصيد

الحكيم الفاضل عبد العزيز بن

تمام العراقي رحمة الله عليهم ورضي عنهم

[f. 97r] إني طالعتُ كثيرًا من أشعار أهل الصنعة فلم أرَ أشرح لأصولها

ولا أوضح لفصولها من قصيدة الحكيم الفيلسوف أبي الأصبع عبد العزيز

بن تمام العراقي فإنه جمع فيها أصول جميع الصناعة حتى لعمري لقد أغنتني

عن جميع كتب الحكماء ...

Ends (f. 98r, lines 6-9):

... وقوله وسمت سائلها عقدًا لجامدها إنما يعني

تحليل الجسد الجامد وإجماد الزوج السيال ثم تشميعه بالجسد المحلول حتى لا يتميّز يتداخل

ولا يتميّز [!] وهذا الحق فاكتموه فإذا ظفرت بهذا العمل فقد نِلتَ منازل المذكورين

وأكثر من ذلك بحول الله وقوته

Colophon Section at the end of a manuscript text. (f. 98r, line 9):

تم والحمد لله وحده وصلى الله على سيدنا محمد وآله وصحبه وسلم
