Maḥāmilī, Abū al-Ḥasan Muḥammad ibn Ahmad ibn Abī al-Qāsim

The volume contains 130 leaves. It is a collection of miscellaneous pieces in Persian and Arabic in an unusual format. Through the greater part of the volume, four (and sometimes five) different texts run side by side on the same page. The centre of each page usually has two columns of writing; some treatises will be written in the right column of the front-side of a leaf and continued in the left-hand column of the back-side, while others will occupy the left column of the front-side of a leaf and the right-hand column of the back-side; the item catalogued here falls in the latter category. For a list of the other items, see the Concordance of Manuscripts (Appendix I)in Emilie Savage-Smith; A New Catalogue of Arabic Manuscripts in The Bodleian Library, University of Oxford. Volume I: Medicine, Oxford: OUP, 2011, and SEB I, cols. 1093−6 no. 1904, for further details. MS. Huntington donat. 18
