al-Tuḥfah al-jāmiʿah li-mufradāt al-ṭibb al-nāfiʿah التحفة الجاميعة لمفردات الطب النافعة
‘Āmirī, Yaḥyā ibn Abī Bakr عامري، يحيى ابن أبي بكر
- Scope & Content:
-
Treatise on medicine by Yaḥyā ibn Abī Bakr ibn Yaḥyá al-ʿĀmirī (يحيى ابن أبي بكر بن يحيى العامري, d. 893/1488). Contrary to what is suggested by the title, the treatise deals not only with materia medica (covered in the introduction), but also with diagnosis and therapy.
On the title page (f. 1r), the name of the author appears erroneously as Yaḥyā ibn Bakr al-‘Alawī (يحيى ابن بكر العلوي), and the nisbah has been corrected to al-ʿĀmirī (العامري) in the margin.
The copy was completed on 21 Shawwāl 1058/8 November 1648.
Contents:
- Introduction (المقدمة, ff. 2r-12v);
- Section One: Specific illnesses (القسم الأول في الأمراض الخاصة, ff. 12v-??);
- [Section Two] (ff. ??-39r);
- Conclusion (الخاتمة, ff. 39r-44r).
- The text is followed (ff. 44v-47v) by a collection of notes and prayers.
Begins (f. 1v, lines 2-4):
الحمد لله خالق الأجسام وما يعرض لها من الألم والضرر ومعلم
الطب لدفع ذلك الخطر ومقدر الموت على كافة البشر لا يدفعه
طب ولا منه وزر (؟) وصلى الله وسلم على سيدنا محمد الطاهر المطهر
Ends (f. 44r, lines 10-14):
ثم مات لم تطعمه النار وقال لقنوا موتاكم لا إله إلا الله وقال
من قال آخر كلامه لا إله إلا الله دخل الجنة الله اختم
اختم لنا بها مع الروح والريحان والعفو والرضوان
والرضوان إنك رحيم كريم منان وصلى الله
على سيدنا محمد وآله وصحبه وسلم تم تم
Colophon (f. 44r, lines 15-20):
تم الكتاب بحمد الله وعونه وحسن توفيقه
ظهر يوم الأحد وعشرون خلت
من شوال سنة ثمان وخمسين
بعد الألف من الهجرة
النبوية على صاحبها
أوصل الصلاة والسلام
