Notes
A list of laxative drugs by Najīb al-Dīn Abū Ḥāmid Muḥammad ibn ‘Alī ibn ‘Umar al-Samarqandī (Najib al-Din Abu Hamid Muhammad ibn Ali ibn Umar al-Samarqandi, d. 1222).
Beginnings (f. 113v, lines 1-2):
This is a message by Najib al-Din Muhammad Ibn Ali Ibn Omar al-Samarqandi on laxatives
Absinthe, hot in the first second and dry in the first, is the best...
Ends (f. 115v, lines 6-10):
... Sweet, cold pomegranate
It is moist in the first and sour and cold and dry in the second. Talk about it then
Peel and squeeze by hand along with its fat and take its water. It will release the bile and it should
The juice that is squeezed must be sweet and sour together because it is more effective in causing diarrhea
And extinguishing the heat. Praise be to God, Lord of the Worlds, and may God’s blessings be upon the faithful Messenger
