Notes
The author was killed along with those who were killed in the city of Herat when the Tatar armies entered it during their barbaric attack and destruction of the populated cities. The manuscript is full of linguistic errors, as if the copyist did not understand what was being conveyed. The author states in the introduction the purpose of writing this book: “I have collected for myself in five volumes what I urgently needed when seeing and treating patients, so that I will always have them at hand.” He used it as a reference, and he collected it from advanced medical books such as Hippocratic Therapeutics, The Complete Medical Industry, and Law, “so that if one of the masters of this knowledge happened to look into it, he would quickly understand what was in it.” Regarding the arrangement of its chapters. It includes mentioning “all the ailments that are presented to the human body with investigation and effort so that not a single ailment stands out from them... along with their causes, signs, and the divisions of each type of them that must be investigated and treated.” He added, “And my purpose agreed with what Muhammad bin Zakaria al-Razi expressed at the end of his book known as Al-Murshid, where he said: If you are devoted to the industry and do not want to miss anything, then collect all medical books as much as you can, and then write a book for yourself in which you mention in every ailment what the other book fell short of and omitted in every one of the ailments, and preserving health and adornment... it will be a great treasure and a full treasury. And Ibn Abi Usaibah, Cairo printer, said, 2: 31 Najib al-Din al-Samarqandi was a virtuous and contemporary of Fakhr al-Din ibn al-Khatib al-Razi, and he wrote works such as The Book of Food for the Sick in All Diseases, The Book of Relatives, and The Book of Food and Drinks for the Healthy, including two manuscripts in Dar al-Kutub in Cairo. The first, No. 2, was written on 9 Jumada al-Thani in the year 623 AH. The first is: “Praise be to God, Lord of the Worlds, and may His prayers be upon the best of His creation.” 122 Medicine transmitted in the year 968 AH, and he has a book on the laws applicable in the formulation of medicines as principles for the composition of drugs, of which there is a manuscript in Dar al-Kutub in Cairo, No. 1120 Medicine transmitted in the year 670 AH, and an incomplete copy, and a third bound in gold, copied by Abdullah al-Hindi and with comments in its margins, explained by Nafis bin Awad al-Muttabbab (No. 3 AD Medicine). This book has many copies in offices in the East and West, and (causes and signs) were explained by the doctor. Nafis bin Awad Al-Kirmani, mentioned above, completed his explanation in the year 827 AH in Samarkand and presented it to the lady of Sultan Aghal Bey, including four copies in Dar Al-Kutub in Cairo, No. 149 Medicine dated 989 AH and No. 857 Medicine, written shortly after the author’s death and written by Saeed bin Hebatullah bin Al-Hasan (Al-Hussein), Abu Al-Hasan Al-Baghdadi Al-Ashab, a physician. Al-Muqtadir (436-494) wrote a book that he also called (Al-Asbab wal-Ilamat), and he is the author of Al-Mughni’s book mentioned previously. I found a copy of this book of Al-Asbab in the Tunisian University, transmitted by Muhammad ibn Al-Hajj Abd al-Karim Attiya from the town of Al-Sahili, dated 1271 AH. It is in Tunisian script, on 164 sheets of paper, measuring 21 x 16 cm, and ruled by 23 lines, under the number 5093. It contains an introduction explaining the definition of the subject of medicine and its honor, and an amendment. The six necessary causes for managing human health, such as air, eating, drinking, movement, rest, psychological movements, sleep, wakefulness, vomiting, and other things, in 83 chapters, all of which are about diseases and illnesses, according to what is in Kashf al-Dhunoun, Part 1: 91. The first person to classify the causes and signs in medicine was Hippocrates, then he was followed by a group of successors, such as Abu Abdullah al-Sayyid Muhammad al-Ilaqi, Abu al-Hasan al-Baghdadi, and al-Samarqandi, describing each type of disease with a comprehensive treatment, and the popularity of this last book increased. By Al-Samarqandi because of Nafis bin Awad’s explanation of it, and he was proficient in it for his time. See Brockelmann, Leiden, 1: 646, and Wustenfeld, p. 119.
