Notes
The treatise, The Progress of Knowledge, contains deletions, additions, and comments in which the name of the translator was not mentioned. It is most likely that it was taken from Hunayn’s translation, and it contains many omissions and additions. For example, in folio 110, he quotes Abu Bakr al-Razi from what he said about warnings about some diseases. The copyist or compiler quotes sayings from the Introduction to Knowledge, then adds what other Arabic authors said on the same subject and quotes their sayings for clarification and comment.
Sample Text
In the name of the living God, the eternal Creator, the One who speaks. This is what the virtuous Hippocrates said in the Introduction to Knowledge. The doctor must be skilled in acute diseases and first look at the patient’s face to see if it resembles the face of healthy people, especially whether it resembles what it was before. If it is like that, then it is in its best condition. As for the face that is in the opposite... it is the worst of all faces, and this is its characteristic: that the nose is sharp, the eyes are sunken, the temples are flat, the ears are cold, etc.
