Notes
The author divided the arjoza into a large number of sections, where he talks about the limits of medicine, the sections of human bodies, the sections of medicine, hydrations, temperaments, humours, organs, powers, actions, spirits, food, water, drinks, sleep, love, nerves, spasms, eye diseases, fevers, brain diseases, pulse... and other diseases, describing for each disease a medicine or a group of medicines. He often mentions after mentioning each disease and its medicines a footnote in which he explains some of the terms, or mentions an article by one of the doctors who preceded him, so we sometimes see him citing it. In Al-Majusi (Q. 57) at the end of the hadith about uterine asphyxia, and sometimes with Ibn Sina, as in Al-Warqa (59 - 67 - 66 Q.) when talking about smallpox and measles, and sometimes he says, “The Wise Men Said,” and the arjuza is general and comprehensive, with a number of verses of 2074 verses. Thus, Ibn Sina’s arjuza surpasses the number of its verses, but the author relied for much of the information in his arjuza on Ibn Sina and other doctors who preceded him, and I did not find a translation of the author in biographies. In general, it is not in the books that focused on doctors and translated for them, such as Uyun al-Anba fi Tabaqat al-Doctors or the Dictionary of Physicians. Dr. Ahmed Issa translated it in his dictionary by a doctor named Mufaddal bin Ibrahim al-Dimashqi, who died in the year 686 AH. The Arjuza needs to be studied and interviewed with Ibn Sina’s Arjuza because it is more numerous in its verses than Ibn Sina’s Arjuza.
