Two lists of weights and measures
- Scope & Content:
-
Names and definitions of various weights and measures, following Abū ‘Alī al-Ḥusayn ibn ‘Abd Allāh (أبو علي الحسين بن عبد الله), known as Ibn Sīnā (ابن سينا, latinised as Avicenna, 980-1037; ff. 366r-366v, line 1). This is followed by a similar list, alphabetically arranged and taken from a text referred to as Tarwīḥ al-awrāḥ (ترويح الأوراح [!]) and attributed in the manuscript to Luṭf ibn Saʿīd al-Dīn (لطف ابن سعيد الدين). The work referred to may be Tarwīḥ al-arwāḥ min ʿilal al-ashbāḥ (ترويح الأرواح من علل الأشباح ) by Fakhr al-Dīn Muḥammad ibn Muḥammad al-Khujandī (فخر الدين محمد بن محمد الخجندي, fl. 1303-16) and often attributed to Luṭf Allāh ibn Saʿd al-Dīn al-Fārūqī (لطف الله سعد الدين الفاروقي, see Brockelmann, GALS II, p. 227; ff. 366v, line 2-368v, line 15).
Begins (f. 366r, line 1-3):

Ends (f. 368v, lines 13-16):
