Notes	This is a single page from a manuscript copied in 621 AH/1224 AD in Baghdad by Abdullah Ibn al-Fadl, a well-known calligrapher who was long believed to be the author of miniatures. The treatise “Medications” was written by Dioscorides, a Greek physician who was very well known in the Middle Ages. The Khninko Museum keeps a page from the manuscript that shows the process of making the medicine. The very reliable and artistically convincing artistic style used by medieval artists shows the racial features of the characters, their poses, clothes and various details of daily life.
