Walters W.750 consists of 4 consecutive leaves (numbered fols. 237-241) from an illustrated manuscript of the Arabic version of De materia medica by Dioscorides, copied in the 7th century AH/AD 13th in Iran. Pedanius Dioscorides wrote his treatise on medicinal plants in the AD 1st century. It was translated into Syriac and then Arabic in Baghdad in the 3rd century AH/AD 9th. De materia medica by Dioscorides was one of the earliest scientific manuscripts to be translated from Greek to Arabic. The Walters' leaves illustrate 5 plants: wild cucumber, mezereon (spurge-olive), and three varieties of thymelaea (spurge-laurel).
