About this item

Content

Medical treatise by Amīn al-Daulah Abū al-Faraj ibn Ya‘qūb ibn Isḥāq ibn al-Quff (أمين الدولة أبو الفرج بن يعقوب بن إسحاق بن القف, d. 1286). The treatise is dedicated to Fakhr al-Dīn Muḥammad ibn al-Wazīr Bahā’ al-Dīn ‘Alī (فخر الدين محمد بن الوزير بهاء الدين علي, f. 6r, ll. 1-3), vizier to the Mamluk sultan al-Malik al-Ẓāhir Baybars al-Bunduqdārī (الملك الظاهر بيبرس البندقداري, reg. 1260-77).

A list of the fifty-nine sections (فصول) of the treatise is given on ff. 6r-7v, but this manuscript contains a sixtieth section on physiognomy. This copy is defective at end.

Begins (f. 5v, lines 2-5):

قال الفقير إلى الله تعالى أبو الفرج بن يعقوب المعروف بابن القف المسيحي

الحمد لله مقدس الصفات والأسماء مقدر الداء والدواء محي الأموات

مميت الأحياء خالق الأعراض والجواهر المنزة عن الضريب والمظاهر الذي

عم الحيوان برزقه وخص الإنسان بفضيله نطقه وصلى الله على صفوته من خلقه

Ends (f. 180v, lines 14-17, defective at end):

... كثرة لحم الورك

دليل على ضعف القوة غلظ الساقين دليل على البلاهة والقحة دقة العقب

دليل على الجبن وغلظه دليل على الشره لطافة القدم دليل على أن صاحبه

مزاج وعنده فجور وكثرة لحمه دليل على سوء الفهم من كانتا خطاه سريعة قصيرة
