Notes
The introduction, first seven chapters and beginning of the eighth chapter of a large work on diseases and their symptoms, complications and remedies.
The identity of the author is somewhat confused; the author names himself in this copy only as Ibn Saʻd al-Dīn (Ibn Saʻd al-Dīn, f. 6r, line 7). Some other copies also cite author variants of the name Luṭf Allāh ibn Saʿd al-Dīn al-Fārūqī, but this individual is not further identified. Brockelmann, following Kâtip Çelebi (Kashf al-Ẓunūn, Vol II, 451), attributes the work to Fakhr al-Din Muhammad ibn Muhammad Abū Naṣr al-Khujandī (Fakhr al-Din Muhammad ibn Muhammad Abu Nasr al-Khujandi, active 1303-16 under Uljāytū Khudābandah,

of Iran (reg. 1304-16), but elsewhere to Luṭf Allāh ibn Saʿd al-Dīn al-Fārūqī, active in India, 1524 (see Brockelmann, Carl,

, trans. by Joep Lameer. Handbook of Oriental studies. Section one, The Near and Middle East; volume 117/S2 [Leiden; Boston: Brill, 2016]. 227 and 649).
The full work consists of an introduction in fifteen 'passages' (مسلك), and twenty chapters (قول) in which the author describes first the parts of the body, from the head downwards, and afterwards general diseases, followed by a conclusion (khatam) in five studies (research). A detailed list of the contents is given in the preface.
