Contents
Summary of Contents: Two Persian treatises and one in Arabic, on geomancy, medicine, and general good health. Other contents: f. 1r, geomantic divination markings, talismanic figures; 2r, magic squares, talismanic formulae, formula for sleepless infants, verses, etc.; 89v, description of the hoopoe, in semi-shikasta nasta‘līq; 90r, the qualities of a cock, in the same hand as the last; 104r, an imprecation against the idols of Quraysh, in the same hand as text 3; nine bayts of verse addressed to Imam Ḥasan, and three to Fāṭima, in a later hand. Purchased from A Kazzaz, 11 March 2005.1. ff. 2v-21vA treatise on geomancy, in 12 chapters (bāb), each comprising numerous sections (faṣls). As the title given in the preface show, this work is putatively derived from the teachings of the Prophets Daniel and Idrīs (here perhaps identified with Hermes Trismegistos). The present copy is incomplete: it contains several of the faṣls comprising the first bāb.
Undated: ca. 12th/18th century.
Naskhī. 18 lines. Tables with geomantic symbols. 172 x 116 mm.; text area 120 x 62 mm.

By Muḥammad ‘Alī Ṭabāṭabā’ī Iṣfahānī (ca. 11th/17th century). Munzavī, in FNKhF I p. 543, records only one other copy (Tehran University, Faculty of Medicine MS. 114/1). The present manuscript must be incomplete at the end, but contains marginalia that include corrections as well as annotations, and so was presumably checked against another.
Undated: ca. 12th/18th century.
Clear naskhī. 15 lines. Red headings. 172 x 116 mm.; text area 128 x 64 mm.
Language(s): Persian3. ff. 90v-104rA medical tract in Arabic, on the maintenance of good health through correct food, drink and medicines.
