Folios 1r and 151r-v contain a long medical extracts written by the same hand. The extract on f. 1r is from Plato's
Book of Herbs
(Book of Weeds); those on ff. 151r-v are from the writings of various medical authors.
Begins (f. 1v, lines 4-7):
The eminent Imam, Qarn al-Hukamā, and eminent doctors, said: Sheikh Alaa al-Din Ali bin Abi al-Hazm al-Qurashi
May God have mercy on him, the third art is about diseases related to one organ, their causes and signs
And its treatments, said the commentator, the scholar, unique in his time and the only one of his time, the best of historians, the wise and the perfect
The honorable doctor, my master, my master, and my teacher, Mawlana of good faith and religion, Al-Kazerouni, may God perpetuate his virtues...
Ends (f. 150v, lines 1-11):
For it contains everything that they mentioned in their books, along with many good deeds, valuable unique things, and abundant benefits that were not included in those books.
What was said in his entire book, The Hunt in the Jawf al-Farra, is true, and therefore I have relied on it in most places in its entirety
If Hudhaam said it, then believe her, for what Hudhaam said would be forgiven and my family would be forgiven and thanked for their efforts
Thanking those who seek righteousness and those who call for success, and praise be to God who guided us to this, and we would not have been an Indian if God had not guided us.
Hamad Al-Wafi, may God bless him and grant him peace and blessings and peace be upon him who is the most just of people.
The best of them in lineage and mixing, the most complete in knowledge, and the strongest in religion is Muhammad al-Mustafa
A blessing for his chapter and a reward for his knowledge and wisdom and for his family
And his companions and followers were the Muhajireen and Ansar
And those who follow them until the Day of Judgment
Thank you very much
A lot

The poor guilty servant in need of God Almighty’s mercy and forgiveness
Mahmoud bin Muhammad bin Ahmed bin Muhammad bin Al-Hassan Al-Shaibani
Praise be to God Almighty and prayers be upon His Prophet
God made him realize his hopes
By Muhammad and his family
And its beauty
