Two medical treatises
1. ff 3v-93vTitle: Ṭibb-i Muḥammad BāqirTitle: طب محمد باقرA medical treatise comprising two parts (maqālah), each in five chapters (faṣl). The first maqālah concerns ophthalmic medicine; the second, the treatment of ulcers. This work was composed by Muḥammad Bāqir ibn Mahmūd for Shāh ‘Abbās I Ṣafavī (reg. 996-1038/1588-1629). See Storey, PL II/2 E, p. 251; the work is not found in FNKhF or Fonahn, ZQPM.
Title supplied.
Language(s): PersianFiliation:2. ff 94r-96vTitle: Dastūr al-fasdTitle: دستور الفسدA concise medical treatise, on cupping, by Muḥammad Bayg, of whom nothing appears to be known, comprising six chapters (bāb), subdivided into faṣls.
The present manuscript is incomplete at the end, the text finishing one-third of the way down the last page. The faṣl headings are missing, apart from the first. Hence there are gaps in many lines, each of which indicates the beginning of a new section.
Storey PL II/2 p. 315, records five other manuscripts. See also Fonahn, ZQPM no. 101, p. 58; no mention in Munzavī, FNKhF.
