Notes
Ms. codex., Title from inscription on front flyleaf (p.3)., Incipit: “Praise be to God, Lord of the worlds, and may blessings and peace be upon His Messenger, Muhammad, and upon all his family. This is a summary containing the essence of what must be recalled from the medical industry. I selected it from the books of the ancients and arranged it into ten articles...”, Explicit: “As for the sweet, the honey is firm, and the dough is thick and produces clots.”, Colophon: “Scribal,” rectangular, reads “This noble message was completed at the hands of the weakest, most impoverished, most needy of people, and most despised of people with fear [?] Ibn Mustafa Al-Khagla’i [?] May God forgive him and his parents along with all who believe in God, the Compassionate and Merciful, in the year 880,” Collation: II (4), V-4 (6), 11 V(120), V-1 (129); chiefly quinions; replacement folia (pp.6-8 and pp.17-18) ; catchwords present ; pagination in pencil, Western numerals, supplied during digitization (includes flyleaves)., Layout: Written in 9 lines per page ; frame-ruled., Script: Nastaʻlīq ; bold, elegant hand; Virtually serifless with very slight effect of words descending to baseline, occasionally more exaggerated, quite rounded with curvilinear descenders, elongation and exaggerated thickness of horizontal strokes; text of opening replacement folia (pp.6-8) in a different hand, the same as that of the ownership statement for the physician Muṣṭafá ibn ʻAbd al-ʻAzīz on 'title page' (p.5); replacement leaf carrying pp.17-18 in still a different hand, though possibly that of one of the later owners., Decoration: Overlining in red ; some notabilia (side-heads) rubricated., Support: non-European (likely Arab) laid paper of perhaps several types; Mainly with 10 laid lines per cm. (horizontal) and chain lines (vertical) possibly grouped in threes with 8-10 mm. between chains, sturdy though thin, well-burnished; opening replacement leaves in European laid paper with traces of three crescents and crown-star-crescent watermarks; later replacement (leaf carrying pp.17-18) in different European laid paper with "E B" visible., Binding: Pasteboards covered in brown leather (upper cover) and cream colored textile [linen] (lower cover as well as spine and portion of upper cover to complete attachment of this replacement / repair); Type III binding (following repair); upper board lining in blue-tinted laid paper; lower board lining in untinted laid paper; upper cover bears tooled central motif and accents in annular stamps along with a tooled rule-border; Sewn mainly in heavy cream thread, two stations, also blue thread and four stations; Overall in fair condition with some abrasion, lifting and losses of leather, staining, some spine slant (slightly cocked), etc., Former shelfmark: From inner front cover, "IL 273" (likely supplied by Yahuda, see acquisitions slip)., Accompanying materials: a. Acquisitions slip from Yahuda. -- Inventory catalog slips in hand of Winifred Smeaton Thomas., Origin: As appears on p.257, copied by Bakhshī ibn Muṣṭafá al-Khāghalāʼī [?] [Bakhshī ibn Mustafa al-Khaghlai] with transcription completed in 880 [1475 or 6]., Ownership statement dated 1 Jumādá I 1127 [ca. 5 May 1715] partially visible on verso of opening replacement leaf (p.2) in name of one ʻAbd Allāh... [?] ; on verso of second replacement leaf (p.4) ownership statement dated Ramaḍān 1231 [July-August 1816] in name of Muḥammad ibn al-Ḥājj Muḥammad Ṣābūnī [?] (Muhammad Ibn al-Haj Muhammad Sabouni [?]) and partially effaced ownership statement dated 1285 [1868] in Ḥalab (Aleppo) in name of one...al-Mārūnī (Maronite); on 'title page' (p.5), ownership statement in the name of al-Shaykh Muṣṭafá ibn ʻAbd al-ʻAzīz, who along with his father was a physician (doctor) in Ḥalab and who likely supplied the text of the opening replacement leaves (pp.6-8), and an ownership statement in the name of Muḥammad al-Khalāṣī (Muhammad Al-Khalāṣī) and of his son Muṣṭafá (Hajj Mustafa Al-Khalasi); Occasional marginal corrections, glosses and notabilia (side-heads)., Shelfmark: Ann Arbor, University of Michigan, Special Collections Research Center, Isl.
