Kitab Jālīnūs fī ‘amal al-tashrīḥ كتاب جالينوس في عمل التشريح
- Scope & Content:
-
Ḥunayn ibn Isḥāq''s (حنين بن إسحق) Arabic version of Galen''s major work on anatomy the De anatomicis administrationibus (Περὶ ἀνατομικῶν ἐγχειρήσεων τῶν σωζομένων βιβλία ἐννέα; كتاب عمل التشريح).
The manuscript was copied in the year 887 AH/1482 AD (see colophons of the first two chapters on ff. 17v and 35v dated 21 Ramaḍān 887 AH/3 November 1482 and 27 Ramaḍān 887 AH/AD 9 November 1482 respectively, and the final colophon on f. 258v, transcribed below dated 16 Shawwāl 887 AH/28 November 1482). These dates, however, appear to refer only to ff. 1-12, after which point the folios have been replaced with ones of a later paper written in a number of hands probably from the fifteenth century.
The text comprises fifteen chapters (مقالات):
- المقالة الأولى (Chapter 1; ff. 2v-17v);
- المقالة الثانية (Chapter 2; ff. 18v-36r);
- المقالة الثالثة (Chapter 3; ff. 36v-58v);

- المقالة السادسة (Chapter 6; ff. 94v-112r);
- المقالة السابعة (Chapter 7; ff. 112v-130r);
- المقالة الثامنة (Chapter 8; ff. 130v-145r);
- المقالة التاسعة (Chapter 9; ff. 145v-161v);
- المقالة العاشرة (Chapter 10; ff. 162r-176v);
- المقالة الحادية عشر (Chapter 11; ff. 176v-193r);
- المقالة الثانية عشر (Chapter 12; ff. 193v-203r);
- المقالة الثالثة عشر (Chapter 13; ff. 203v-222r);
- المقالة الرابعة عشر (Chapter 14; ff. 222v-239v);
- المقالة الخامسة عشر (Chapter 15; ff. 240r-258v).
