About this item
- Content
On f. 170v a hand other than that of the main scribe, ‘Alī ibn Abī Ṭālib al-Ḥalabī, probably that of one of the manuscript’s owners, has copied out three prescriptions: (1) a tested remedy for haemorrhoids taken from Ibn al-Ḥadhdhā; (2) ‘hospital dried fruit (al-nuqū‘ al-māristānī)’; and (3) an aphrodisiac paste with three uses.
Begins (170v, lines 1-3):
للبواسير مجرب عن ابن الحذاء
ثلثا درهم أفيون ونصف درهم زرنيخ أحمر ونصف درهم زرنيخ أصفر ودرهم هالك يدق ناعمًا وتؤخذ ثلثة درهم
حرقة قطن وتحرق ولا يترك يخرج لها دخان...
Ends (f. 170v, lines 18-23):
معجون السليحة وله ثلثة فوائد الأولى لا تحبل المرأة
الثانية يجب الرجل إليها الثالثة لا يضعف البدن بكثرة الجماع
خشخاش أبيض إسقنقور كل واحد درحمان نصف مرارة شبوط وبزر سذاب ولؤلؤ وصامرٮو (؟) ما يتسوم وتٮا (؟) الحمار كل
واحد درهمان سليحة ومن كل واحد نصف درهم بزر خيار وقثار نعنع وبزر بطيخ كل واحد نصف درهم صعتر فارسي وكافور
كل واحد سدس درهم يجمع ويسحق وينحلّ ويعجن بعسل منزوع الرغوة ويرفع ويستعمله ليلًا إن كان الجماع نهارًا أو نهارًا إن
كان الجماع ليلًا
