  • The volume contains 171 leaves plus two preliminary leaves and two end leaves. Folio 171b has 24 lines of casually written recipes useful, amongst other things, for the pain of gnashing teeth, for producing a peaceful sleep, for increasing sexual enjoyment, for toothache, and for throbbing pain. The preliminary and end leaves are blank except for (on the second preliminary leaf) the ex libris of Archbishop Laud dated 1635 and a statement in the same Latin hand that the volume contains Galen’s commentary interpreted by ‘Harim Ben Isaac’. MS. Laud Or. 139

  • Ars medicinae (Articella); France or Germany, 13th century, end MS. Laud Lat. 106

  • The volume consists of 227 folios and 5 preliminary leaves. Folios 2−226 were written by the same copyist and on the same type of paper and consist of twenty-eight numbered quires of eight folios each (except the first quire of seven folios and some disturbance in the two middle quires). Traces of Arabic numerals are visible in the upper left corners of some of the quires; on the lower left-hand corners upper-case letters of the Roman alphabet have been written, in sequence, beginning with folio 9 (labelled B). The letter S occurs on the quire beginning with folio 130, T on folios 138a and then again on folio 146a, V on folio 148a, X on folio 154a, Y on folios 162a, and Z on folio 170a. Thereafter, the alphabet repeats, with each letter given in both upper case and lower case (‘Aa’on folio 178; ‘Ff’ on folio 218). There are seven later owners’s notes (names not legible) and couplets written on folio 2a. Folio 2b is blank. The upper half of folio 3a has been defaced; the label Kitāb fī al-ṭibb has been written on it in brown ink, and on the lower half of the folio miscellaneous medical notes have been added by the same hand as added paragraphs to other folios within the treatise. Folio 227a (with horizontal laidlines and chain lines in groups of 3s) has two recipes: one for ulceration taken from Quṭb Shīrāzī [= Quṭb al-Dīn al-Shīrāzī who died in 710/1311] and an eye remedy ‘belonging to the West’ (shiyāf lil-gharb) said to be from the Aqraādhīn of one Filānīsī (فلانيسي). On folio 227b there are even more casually written recipes, several for maʿjūns. Folio 1 is not a part of the original set of quires labelled with Latin letters. Folio 1 is of different paper (no visible laid or chain lines) and was at one time folded; folio 1a has later notes in five different hands written at various angles, including an Arabic note stating the number of leaves to be 225, a Latin notation of subject, a Persian couplet, and a recipe that is repeated in a different hand on the facing folio (preliminary folio vb). Folio 1b has eight recipes written in very casual hands, includng one taken from the Minhāj al-dukkān (written in 658/1260 by al-Kūhīn al-ʿAṭṭār al-Hārūnī al-Isrāʾīlī (fl. 658/1260). On preliminary folio vb a piece of paper similar to that of folio 1 has been pasted on. The five preliminary leaves (front endpapers) are of watermarked paper (shield and the letter JC). On preliminary folio iiia the number from the Golius Sale Cat. is recorded as well as the number N. 229 and the catalogue number as in UAM; there is also a Latin label from a spine, probably on the volume before rebinding in the nineteenth century, now pasted onto folio iiia, and a note by Steinschneider written in 1852 identifying the author, incorrectly, as Ibn el Talmid. The remaining preliminary folios are blank. — ?13th cent. MS. Marsh 537

Folio 31a has twenty lines of Arabic in a large later hand concerned with the meaning of terms used in describing temperaments and humours. Folio 131a has advice (من وصايا) on food (طعام) taken from Ibn Sīnā, written in a large and later hand. Folio 131b has four recipes for theriacs (in different hands), one of them specified as ترياق برشعيثا (the tiryāq of Barashʿīthā) and another as ترياق فاروق لابن قيسون (the tiryāq fārūq of Ibn Qaysūn). Surrounding the title on folio 1a there are later notes presenting three magical procedures for gaining protection and well-being, one of them citing Sulaymān ibn Dāwūd (King Solomon son of David). On the front pastedown, in addition to the UAM entry number, there are Turkish recipes, medical notes and pious phrases; on the back pastedown there are two recipes, one for skin conditions and leprosy (judhām). On the paper lining of the envelope flap there are four invocations (yā kāfī, etc.) that are said, on the authority of al-Būnī (d. c. 622/1225), to be useful for procuring a livelihood and wealth. A Latin note on folio 1b states that the volume contains commentaries on the Aphorisms of Hippocrates. — 1518 MS. Huntington 359
