Sharḥ fuṣūl Abuqrāṭ شرح فصول أبقراط Ibn al-Nafīs, ʻAlī ibn Abī al-Ḥazm ابن النفيس، علي بن أبي الحزم [‎11r] (30/362)

Content

Commentary by ‘Alā’ al-Dīn ‘Alī ibn Abī al-Ḥazm al-Qurashī (علاء الدين علي بن أبي الحزم القرشي), known as Ibn al-Nafīs (ابن النفيس, d. 1288) on the Aphorisms (كتاب الفصول) of Hippocrates (أبقراط, d. ca 370 BC).

The manuscript is defective at end, terminating abruptly during Aphorism 55, the penultimate aphorism of Book Seven (cf. ed. Tytler, 1832, p. 65).

The title is found on f. 1r.

The folios after f. 104 were previously bound in a different order as may be seen by the note on f. 107v, which was previously the final folio (f. 161) when the folios were counted at the time of the manuscript's acquisition in April 1901. By January 1909, the folios had been rebound in their present order (see note at foot of f. 161v). Thirteen unfoliated, blank leaves have been bound into the manuscript to mark missing folia, one of which has become detached and now rests between the left board and end flyleaf.

Contents:

Following the arrangement of the Aphorisms, the commentary is divided into 7 books (مقالات):

المقالة الأولى (Book 1; ff. 1v-43r);

المقالة الثانية (Book 2; ff. 43r-70v);

المقالة الثالثة (Book 3; ff. 70v-102v);

المقالة الرابعة (Book 4; begins on f. 102v-defective at end);

المقالة الخامسة (Book 5; defective at beginning-125v);

المقالة السادسة (Book 6; ff. 125v-145v);

المقالة السابعة (Book 7; ff. 145v-161v defective at end).

Begins (f. 1v, lines 2-7):

الطالبين وهذه النسخة إنما نتبع فيها ما نراه

لائقًا بالشروح ورائقًا في التصنيف ...

Ends (f. 161v, lines 10-13 defective at end):

من كان لحمه رطبًا فينبغي أن يجوع فإن

الجوع يجفف الأبدان، التفسير

اللحم الرطب هو الرهل ومن كان لحمه كذلك
