Notes
The original title is given in the preface, but has been washed out by a water-stain (leaf 2 recto). The conjectured title, as above, has been suggested by the reference on leaf 72 recto to "qarābādhīnī al-kabīr alladhī dawwantuh..." Perhaps this has some connection with the Baḥr al-jawāhir, a similar pharmacopoeia in Arabic with occasional Persian, by Muhammad ibn Yūsuf al-ṭabīb al-Harawī (Berlin catalogue, 6239; although the quotations given there do not seem to agree with this work; He added: "Bismillāh al-Raḥmān al-Raḥīm. al-Ḥamdu lillāh al-mubdiʻ the little mujarradāt, al-fāṭir [the little mujassamāt, al-mukhtariʻ the little mufradāt, al-khaliq the little murakkabāt, al-mūjid] li-mawādd al-kāʼināt wa-ṣuwar al-mawjūdāt ... But the baʻd, fa-yaqūlu [...] Muḥammad al-Mulaqqab bi-ʻAlāʼ al-Dīn al-Ṭabīb: Lamma kāna al-insān al-makhlūq ashraf al-makhlūqāt Introduction: "In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, the Creator of the Single, the Father [of the bodies, the Creator of the Single, the Creator of the Compounds, the Creator] He said [...] Muhammad nicknamed Ba'ala al-Din the physician: Why can man the creature rule the creatures ..." Modern (18th century?) calligraphic naskhī, in gold, red, and black. Islamic binding, paper cover, with flap. Colophon: "Naskh qarmah sī qāʻidah sīlah Chamshīr Ḥāfiẓ Ṣāliḥ Afandīnik khatṭṭīdar.
