Natījat al-maṭlūbāt fī ma'rifat al-ḥummayāt (Outcome of the quest regarding the knowledge of fevers) is a rare medical work on fevers. The author, Bulus ibn Qustantin al-Malaki al-Shaburi, is known only through this one surviving work, which is composed in 30 chapters and a conclusion. The chapters treat fevers in all of their varieties, including sunukhus (from the Greek synochus, meaning continued or unremitting fever) and al-diqq (hectic or deep-rooted fever). The conclusion deals with the treatment of side-effects, including al-sahr (sleeplessness), al-hathayan (delirium), and al-aṭash al-shadīd (intense thirst). In the introduction, the author mentions some of the medical texts upon which he based his work, including Ghāyat al-itqān (The limit of improvement) by Ibn Sallum (died 1081 AH, 1670-71). This allows for a rough dating of the Natījat al-maṭlūbāt to the end of the 17th or the early 18th century. The manuscript presented here includes catchwords and rubrication, and is dated to 1168 AH (1754-55). The title page includes what appears to be an erroneous title al-Mukhtaṣar fī al-ḥummayāt (A compendium on fevers).
