About this item

Content

A treatise on hippiatrics, discussing their good and bad points, training, diseases and treatment. The text is an abridgement of the Kitāb al-furūsīyah wa-l-bayṭarah (كتاب الفروسية والبيطرة) by Muḥammad ibn Yaʿqūb Ibn Akhī Ḥizām (محمد بن يعقوب بن أخي حزام; see British Library, Add. MS 23416). This abridgement is attributed to Abū Muḥammad Aḥmad ibn ‘Atīq al-Azdī (أبو محمد أحمد بن عتيق الأزدي; see ff. 1r, 1v and 111r where he is called Abū Aḥmad [أبو أحمد]).

The text contains two illustrations. The first (ff. 22v-23r) labels the horse's good points; the second (ff. 62v-63r) its defects. On f. 110v appear two amuletic squares for the treatment of 'rupture (انقطاع)'.

The copy was completed 10 (?) Rajab 620/9 (?) August 1223 (see colophon Section at the end of a manuscript text. , f. 111v, lines 5-6 transcribed below) by an unnamed scribe.
