Notes
- Its title is mentioned in some sources: “The Great Book of Properties in the Properties of Things,” and in others: “The Great Book of Properties, known as the Great Articles and the Seventy Epistles.” Some references mentioned that it is among the books attributed to Jabir ibn Hayyan. It was mentioned by the author (“Kashf al-Dhunoun” 1416: 2), who said: “The book of al-Khawas al-Kabir: by Sheikh Jabir bin Hayyan al-Sufi on the knowledge of al-Kaf. It is seventy-one articles. The beginning of it: Praise be to God as He is worthy and generous..., in which he discussed the properties of things related to Kaf. - The author's nickname was said to be - Abu Abdullah -. He was known as a Sufi. Philosopher in chemistry. He was an athlete, astrologer, and doctor. He was born in Khorasan, grew up there, then settled in Kufa. It is necessary to have circles of scholars there. In some references, he contacted Imam Jaafar Al-Sadiq and learned from him. He contacted the Baramkehs, and reached one of them, Jaafar bin Yahya, and they brought him to the Abbasid Caliphate, Baghdad, and Al-Rashid honored and cherished him. Then some harm befell him, when Al-Rashid became angry with Al-Baramkeh. So he returned to Kufa. He disappeared for a while. Then the days moved with him, until they brought him to Tus, where he died. Classify a group of books. It was said: Its number is 232 books, and it was said: It reached more than that. Most of them were lost, and some were left intact. Translate it into Latin. Jabir had great fame among the Franks due to his books they transmitted. Ibn al-Nadim reported (“Al-Fahrist” p. 357-358): What is the text of this: “Abu Musa said: [Jabir ibn Hayyan]: I wrote three hundred books on philosophy, one thousand three hundred books on tricks like the book of Taqatir (?), and one thousand three hundred treatises on group crafts and war machines, then I wrote a great book on medicine, and I wrote small and large books [books], and I wrote about medicine about Five hundred books, such as the book on anthropomorphism and anatomy, then I wrote books on logic according to the opinion of Aristotle, then I wrote the book The Gentle Zig-Zag, about three hundred pages long, the book explaining Euclid, the book explaining the Almagest, the book of mirrors, the book of the shovel that the theologians had overturned... Then I wrote books on asceticism and sermons, and I wrote many good books on exhortations, and I wrote books on fireworks, and I wrote on There are many books on the properties of which he works. After that, I wrote five hundred books criticizing the philosophers, then I wrote a book on the craft known as the Book of the King, and a book known as Al-Riyadh. We said: This is a huge number of books and letters. There is no doubt that most of them are in small letters. An example of this is: Al-Hajj Khalifa said: (“Kashf al-Dhuunun” 1432: 2): “(The Book of al-Safi from the Five Hundred: by Jabir ibn Hayyan al-Sufi.) Brief. The beginning of it..., and it is a paper, as well as others). Moreover, quite a few of it - as some references say - are attributed to him, and some of his works were mentioned in: (Dr. Fadel Al-Ta’i: “About Jabir Ibn Hayyan”: Journal of the Iraqi Scientific Academy, 14 [Baghdad, 1967], pp. 34-55), (Abdul Qadir Mahmoud: “Jaber Ibn Hayyan... The Myth and Scientific Truth”: Libyan “Arab Culture” Magazine, Issue Six - June 1979, pp. 136-139). And the references they referred to dealt with its translation and effects. In addition to what was mentioned in the documentation. There is disagreement regarding the year of his death. In (Kashf al-Zunun, 2: 1430, 1450, 1835, 1912, 1985): He died in the year 160 AH, and similarly in “Shiite Notables”, in “The Arab Immortals”: around 198 AH, in “Muslim Scholars”: in the year 813 AD (= 198 AH), and in a narration: in the year 180 e. - A photocopy of a handwritten copy in the library of the Iraqi Museum in Baghdad.
