Commentary by Abū al-Qāsim ʻAbd al-Raḥmān ibn ʻAlī Ibn Abī Ṣādiq al-Nīsābūrī (أبو القاسم عبد الرحمن بن علي ابن أبي صادق النيسابوري, d. ca 1068) on the Aphorisms (كتاب الفصول) of Hippocrates (أبقراط, d. ca 370 BC). The commentary is based on Galen of Pergamon's (جالينوس, d. ca 216) commentary on the Aphorisms.
The copy was completed on the morning of Tuesday 3 Ramaḍān 1094/26 August 1683, the 28th year of the reign of the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb (reg. 1658-1707), in the takīyah of Shah Sayyid Aḥmad at Burhanpur by Shaykh ‘Abd al-Qādir Qurashī (شيخ عبد القادر قرشي, see colophon Section at the end of a manuscript text. , f. 177r, lines 6-8, transcribed below).
The text is followed by a brief note by a later hand and an incomplete horoscope diagram (f. 177v).
Begins (f. 2v, lines 1-4):
... قال عبد الرحمن بن علي
بن أبي صادق رحمة (!) بعد حمد الله تعا[لى] بجميع محامده والصلوة على
رسوله محمد وآله إن العناية تبعث الخلق على اقتناء باب من أبواب العلوم
من أشرف الفضائل الإنسانية سيما ما كان الناس كافةً ...
Ends (f. 177r, lines 2-5):
... وأما الفصول المدالة والتي قد اعتد ذكرها
بآخره من الكتاب فركنا ذكرها شفقة على فوات
الزمان بما لا يجدي نفعًا والله تعالى والسالمة وهو
حسبنا ونعم الوكيل
Colophon Section at the end of a manuscript text. (f. 177r, lines 6-13):
تمت بالخير بوقت ضحى روز سه شنبه بتأريخ سيوم ماه
رمضان المبارك في تكيه ميان شاه سيد أحمد قدس سره
سنة 28 جلوس سنة 1094 هجري كاتب فقير شيخ عبد القادر
قرشي ساكن برهانپور هركس كه بدركاه توآيد به تياز
محروم زدركاه توكي كردرباز
اي آله من وآله همه كرم تست عذرخواه هم
قطره [آ]ز آب رحمت توبه است شستن نامه سياه هم
والسلام والإكرام
