al-Kāfī fī ṣinā‘at al-ṭibb الكافي في صناعة الطب
‘Aynzarbī, ‘Adnān ibn Naṣr عينزربي، عدنان بن نصر
- Scope & Content:
-
Treatise on medicine by Abū Naṣr ‘Adnān ibn Naṣr al-‘Aynzarbī (أبو نصر عدنان بن نصر العينزربي, d. 1153), personal physician to the Fatimid caliph al-Ẓāfir bi-amr Allāh (الظافر بأمر الله, reg. 1149-54). The treatise is divided into 195 chapters (باب) describing diseases arranged from head to food.
On the title page (f. 2r), it is erroneously claimed that the text is by the philosopher Abū Naṣr Muḥammad ibn Muḥammad ibn Tarkhān al-Fārābī (أبو نصر محمد بن محمد بن ترخان الفارابي; ca 870-950). In the incipit (f. 2v, line 2, see beginning transcribed below), the author's name is correctly written except that he is given the nisbah al-Fārābī (الفارابي), rather than the correct al-‘Aynzarbī (العينزربي).
Begins (f. 2v, lines 2-4):
قال أبو نصر عدنان بن نصر الفارابي المتطبب لما كان
الطب ينقسم قسمه أوليه إلى قسمين أحدهما علم فقط والآخر
علم العمل وكانت الغاية حفظة الصحة موجودة أو ردها بمفقودة
Ends (f. 172v, lines 2-5):
وعلاج النوع الثالث غير ممكن بل يجب أن تعلل بمثل ماء اللحم والفراريج وتقوي
نفوسهم بالروائح الطبيبة وينشقون الفراريج المشوية وإن كانت قواهم
قوية فيها مسكه فاجعل لهم في مرق الفراريج أو مائها الكعك المسحوق أو لباب
الخبز فاعلم توفق
