قال أبو بكر محمد بن زكريا المتطبب الرازي رحمه الله إلى جاميع الأمير سيدي وابن
سيدي أبي صلح منصور بن إسحق أطال الله بقاه في كتابي هذا جملًا وجوامع ونكتاد
عيونًا في صناعة الطب...
Ends (f. 191v, lines 8-12):
... وأما فيمن لم يكن حوارتهم كثيرة
ملتهبة فليوخذ لكل رطل من جملة هذا وزن درهم مصطكى ومثله
قرتمل ومثله سنبل فيصير في خرقة ويلقى فيها عند الطبخ وإذ قد
بينا على جميع المقالات في صدر هذا الكتاب وليكمل كتابنا في
الموضع والله محمود...
Colophon (f. 191v, lines 12-21):
... تم الكتاب للحكيم الفاضل محمد بن زكريا الرازي
ولواهب العقل الحمد بلا نثاية كما هو أهله ومستحقه وصلى
الله علي محمد النبي وآله الطيبين الطاهرين الأخيار
وسلم تسليمًا دائمًا كثيرًا في غرة شهر رمضان المبارك
سنة عشر آلف من الهجرة النبوية صلى الله
عليه وآله وسلم في مشهد إمام الجن والأنس
أبو الحسن علي ابن موسا الرضا عليه ألف
الصلوة وسلم كثير العميد المذهب
سلمان الموسوي الطبيب غفر الله
ذنوبه ولوالديه
