Zubdat al-ṭibb زبدة الطب Jurjānī, Ismāʿīl ibn Ḥasan جرجاني، إسماعيل بن حسن [‎back] (2/532)

Content

Medical compendium by Zayn al-Dīn Abū Ibrāhīm Ismā‘īl ibn Muḥammad al-Ḥusaynī al-Jurjānī (زين الدين أبو إبراهيم إسماعيل بن محمد الحسيني الجرجاني, d. 1136). He is also known as Ismā‘īl ibn al-Ḥasan (إسماعيل بن الحسن) or ibn al-Ḥusayn (بن الحسين). The work is dedicated to the Khwārizm Shāh ‘Alā’ al-Dīn Qizil Arslān Atsiz ibn Muḥammad (علاء الدين قزل أرسلان أتسز بن محمد, reg. 1127-56; see f. 2r, lines 10-12).

The text is said in the preface (ff. 1v, line 24 ult.-2r, line 1) to be divided into two sections (جزءان): the Theoretical Section (الجزء العلمي) and the Practical Section (الجزء العملي). The Theoretical Section is divided into nine treatises (مقالة) further subdivided into chapters (أبواب), and a list of these treatises is found at the head of f. 2v.

It is unclear how the text is to be divided into the two section mentioned in the preface, but major divisions in the text can be found at the following folios: 60r, 95v, 121v, 230v, 244v, and 248v.

There is a blank, unfoliated leaf between ff. 94 and 95.

Begins (f. 1v, lines 2-4):

الحمد لله تعلى والثناء عليه والصلوة على رسوله والسـ[... ...]ـلم إليه وآله أجمعين فاعلم

يـ[...]ـم الطب ومدار أمره على [...]ـه وأحوال النبض والتنفس

ومعرفة أحوال الأبوال [فيـ]ـه ثفال وأحوال العرق والنفث ومعرفة البحران

Ends (f. 258r, lines 16-19):

... الحيوان المعروف بدخال الأذن

يحدث منه وجع شديد يسكن بعد ساعة وربما كفي فيه استعمال الملح مع الخل

بورك لصاحبه

طول الله عمره

Colophon Section at the end of a manuscript text. (f. 258r, lines 20-21):

تمت بحمد الله تعالى وحسن توفيقه والصلوة

على خير خلقة محمد وآله أجمعين
