Dhikr al-adwiyah al-mufradah ذكر الأدوية المفردة
Najīb al-Dīn al-Samarqandī, Muḥammad ibn ʻAlī نجيب الدين السمرقندي، محمد بن علي
- Scope & Content:
-
Inventory of pharmaceutical ingredients, arranged in alphabetical order. Each entry includes the item's humoral properties and uses. This is followed by a short list of laxative ingredients and preparations (في ذكر الأدوية المسهلة, f. 78r-80v) and two pages of medical recipes and notes in Arabic and Persian (f. 81r-81v). The copy was transcribed 'during the months of' 984, probably Rabīʿ I or II (May-July 1576) given its placement between two other dated texts (see colophon, f. 80v, lines 9-11 transcribed below).
Although the present copy does not acknowledge its authorship, a text by this name is frequently found in copies of the collections of medical writings by Muḥammad ibn ʿAlī Najīb al-Dīn al-Samarqandī (نجيب الدين السمرقندي، محمد بن علي, d. 1222), which often circulated under the title al-Najībīyah al-Samarqandīyah.
Begins (f. 68v, lines 2-4):
الحمد لله رب العالمين والصلوة والسلام على نبيه محمد وآله أجمعين وعلى جميع
الأنبياء والمرسلين ذكر الأدوية المفردة المستعملة وخواصها المنسوبة إليها
المشهورة بها حرف الألف إكليل الملك حار يابس...
Ends (f. 80v, lines 4-6):
رمان حلوة رطب بارد في الأولى وحامضة بارد يابس في الثانية الحديث منه إذا قشر
من قشره وعصر باليد مع شحمه وأخذ ماؤه يخرج الصفراء وينبغي أن يكون المعتصر منه الحلو
والحامض معًا لأنه أبلغ في الإسهال ولطيفة الحرارة والله أعلم بالصواب
Colophon (f. 80v, lines 7-11):
تمت الكتاب الأدوية المفردة
بعون الله تعالى وحسن
توفيقه في شهور
سنة ٩٨٤ أربع وثمانين
وتسعمائة
