It is an encyclopedic work containing the names and properties of more than 1,000 species of plants and substances of medicinal value, organized alphabetically. The author quotes a host of earlier scientists, such as Dioscorides, Galen, and Ibn Sina (980-1037, commonly known as Avicenna). The author's birthplace in Malaga is reflected by the attribution al-Malaqi appearing in his name. Ibn al-Baytar's text contains, in addition, numerous references to Andalusia and Andalusian place-names, such as Ronda. The present manuscript contains less than a quarter of the original work. It starts in the middle of the section on the letter dal with Ibn al-Baytar's discussion of difla (oleander), and ends amidst the discussion of siraj al-qutrub (mandrake), in the section on the letter sin. Ibn al-Baytar's work has been produced in several modern editions.
