Ḥaqāʾiq asrār al-ṭibb حقائق أسرار الطب
Sijzī, Masʿūd ibn Muḥammad سجزي، مسعود بن محمد
- Scope & Content:
-
An introduction to medicine and compendium of medical terminology in three chapters (funūn), each subdivided into sections (aqsām) and headings (fusūl), by Masʿūd ibn Muḥammad al-Sijzī (مسعود بن محمد السجزي, fl. before 1334).
The treatise, the title of which is given in the preface (f. 1v, line 15), is dedicated to a vizier by the name of Ṣadr al-Dawlah Abī al-Mufākhir Qāsim ibn ʿIrāq ibn Jaʿfar (صدر الدولة [...] أبي المفاخر قاسم بن عراق بن جعفر, see f. 1v, lines 5-7, transcribed below).
Contents:
- Chapter One: On things pertaining to the general [principles] of medicine and notes to make them easier to understand (الفن الأول في ماهيات الأشياء التي يتعلق بكليات الطب ورسومها التقريبية, ff. 2r- 23r);
- Chapter Two: On instructions for the processes and productions related to the principles of medicine (الفن الثاني في كيفيات الأعمال والصناعات المتعلقة بأصول الطب, ff. 23r-30v);
- Chapter Three: On how many sections [medical] matters are divided into generally [on medical theory, arranged by number of conceptual divisions] (الفن الثالث في كميات أقسام أمور منقسمة انقسامًا كليًا ff. 30v-34v). The tenth and last section of this chapter is not found in the present copy.
The text is followed by three folios of mixed contents: an entry on weights and measures used in medical books (f. 35r); a short treatise on the pulse attributed to the physician and translator Ḥubaysh ibn al-Ḥasan (حبيش بن الحسن, here written erroneously as Ḥubaysh al-Ḥusayn [حبيش الحسين]), nephew and pupil of the physician and translator Ḥunayn ibn Isḥāq (حنين بن إسحق, d. 873; ff. 35r-36v); and recipes for a draught to ease stomach-pains and a stimulant electuary (ff. 36v-37v).
Begins (f. 1v, lines 2-7):
