- Scope & Content:
-
Instructions for the production of a distilled ‘hot water’ (ماء حار ; f. 159r, line 23, transcribed below) that can split and dissolve stone. The text begins abruptly and appears to have been copied by Muḥammad ibn Sulaymān al-Mawṣilī (محمد بن سليمان الموصلي) (see colophon, f. 158v, line 21).
Begins (f. 159r, lines 1-3):
وذكر لي أنه من أخذ ملح الطعام الحيدراني مع وزنه جير غير مطفئ وبيته في
الفرن ليلة وجره وعقد هكذا ٧ مرات فإنه يكونوا دهنًا وقيل إنه من أخذ من
هذه الدهن والعقرب ذائب في بوط وزن ٥ درهم ورماه على العقرب
Ends (f. 159r, lines 19-23):
... قال الحكيم إذا زوج النطرون
بالنشادر يتولد منها مفتاح صفة مياه الصناعة خذ
ملح الطعام وملح مر وملح طبرزد وملح حيدراني وملح هندي وملح قلي
وملح بول أجزاء سواء ومثل الجميع عقابًا فحلهما بالرطوبة وقطرهما فإنه
يقطر منهما ماء حار يفلق الصخور والحجر يحلها بإذن الله تعالى
