About this item

Content

An introduction to medicine for students in the form of questions and answers divided into ten chapters (فصول) by the famous physician and translator Abū Zayd Ḥunayn ibn Isḥāq al-‘Ibādī (أبو زيد حنين بن إسحق العبادي, d. 873). The work is based on the Ars medica (Τέχνη ἰατρική) by Galen of Pergamon (جالينوس ; d. ca 216).

The copy is the work of at least three scribes (ff. 2r-23r, 23v-35v, and 36r-100v) and is defective at both the beginning and end. There are no chapter headings, but marginal notes mark the beginnings of some chapters and indicate they have been collated. The collation note for Chapter Six is dated 656 AH/AD 1258

Contents:

  • Chapter Three of Ten (الفصل الثالث من العشرة; ff. 2r-9r);
  • Chapter Four of Ten (الفصل الرابع من العشرة; ff. 9r-?);
  • Chapter Six of Ten (الفصل السادس من العشرة; ff. 28v-?)

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

[...] شيء يوجد كل واحد من الصحة

[...] المزمن (؟) والحال التي ليست بصحة ولا مرض في ثلثة

أشياء وما هو. إما في البدن الذي يوجد فيه

إحدى هذه الحالات الثلاثة وإما في السبب

الذي يفعلها أو يحفظها وما في الدلائل التي تدل

عليها...

Ends (f. 100v, 10-13):

... وأما

الحال الذي يكون فيها محمودًا فهي أن تكون مرة

كذا ومرة ليس كذا فإنه إذا كان كذلك

دل على أن الريح يسير المقدار قليلة الغلظ فهي
