| Sample Text | Title page bearing rectangular owner's stamp and notes, one dated 911 AH/1505-6 CE. Ownership inscription to the left of the large title, of Muhammad Fath Allāh al-tabīb li-dār al-shifā’ al-Nūrī (physician at the Nūrī hospital [in Damascus]), dated 1034 AH/1624 CE). At the top of the folio and again in the middle someone has written the expression 'ihfaz kitābī hadhī' ('protect this book of mine'), and in each of the four corners 'yā kabīkaj' ('O buttercup'), a talismanic formula which refers to the magical and protective powers associated with the buttercup (a variety of Ranunculus) considered effective against worms and insects prone to attack old Islamic manuscripts that were mostly made of paper and bound with glues attractive to insects. A copy of al-Kutub al-mi’ah fī al-sinā’ah al-tibbīyah (The Hundred Books on the Medical Art), a general medical manual by a Christian physician named Abū Sahl ’Īsá ibn Yahyá al-Masīhī (d. 401 AH/1010 CE). The Bodleian manuscript appears to be the earliest recorded copy (completed in the month of Sha’bān 592 AH, ie. July 1196 CE) and is also of interest because of a number of medieval Latin annotations recorded in the Crusader States sometime between 1196 CE and 1443 CE. |
