MD 20894 A Shelflist of Islamic Medical Manuscripts at the National Library of Medicine U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES Public Health Service | National Institutes of Health History of Medicine Division | National Library of Medicine Bethesda, Maryland 11996 Preface In 1994, to celebrate the 900th anniversary of the oldest Arabic medical manuscript in its collection, the History of Medicine Division of the National Library of Medicine mounted an exhibit entitled "Islamic Culture and the Medical Arts." Showcasing the library's rich holdings in this area, the exhibit was very well received - so much so that there has been a scholarly demand for the library to issue a catalogue of its holdings. This shelflist serves as an interim guide to the collection. It was made possible by the splendid work of Emilie Savage-Smith of Oxford University. Over the past few years, Dr. Savage-Smith has lent her time and her considerable expertise to the cataloguing of these manuscripts, examining every volume, providing much new information on authorship, contents, provenance, etc., superseding the earlier cataloguing by Francis E. Sommer, originally published in Dorothy M. Schullian and Francis E. Sommer, A Catalogue of Incunabula and Manuscripts in the Army Medical Library in 1950. (The Army Medical Library is the predecessor library to NLM.) The data was translated into catalogue record format, with the assistance of Carol Clausen and Margaret Donovan of the History of Medicine Division Staff, and entered into CATLINE, NLM's online catalogue of books. The records contained here represent a printout from CATLINE of the 143 records assigned the WZ 225 class mark (non-Western Manuscripts) under the NLM classification system. The records were arranged in shelflist (i.e. - call number) order, and printed out in the MEDLARS "PRT CC" format, which approximates the arrangement of information found on a conventional catalogue card. Other than to replace several internal library alphanumeric codes with more easily understandable field tags, no editing of the records has taken place. Because the special characters and character modifiers required to romanize the Arabic script according to the American Library Association - Library of Congress romanization tables are not fully supported by NLM software, no character marks appear above or below the script in the following records. Due to these system constraints, the ayn, and the medial and final hamzah, are all represented by the apostrophe. The History of Medicine Division is grateful to Janice Willis of NLM's MEDLARS Management Section for her assistance in the on-line sorting of the records. Special thanks are also due to Carol Clausen, Philip Teigen, and Anne Whitaker, all of NLM's History of Medicine Division, for their assistance in the preparation of this list.

Manuscript. Arabic. Title taken from item [1] colophon (fol. 38a lines 12-14). Item [1]: author's name not given, but text clearly corresponds to the anatomical sections in the Qanun fi al-tibb by Avicenna; Galen is named occasionally, but these references occur in the text of the Qanun; the compiler of the anatomical sections from the Qanun is not named; dated in colophon (fol. 38a lines 15-16) 5 Rajab 992 [13 July 1584]; no scribe named; copious marginal notes throughout, including lengthy quotations from the commentary on the anatomy of the Canon written by Ibn al-Nafis (d. 1288), referred to here as Qurashi; second copy of this work found in NLM MS A56. Item [2]: title (fol. 38b line 1) translated: A list of some terms from the Qanun and other writings; compiler of the list is not named. Item [3]: title (fol. 41a line 1) translated: On oxymel; no author given; consists of the end of a treatise; the rest of the treatise is missing. Item (4]: title (fol. 41b line 2) translated: On prognosis and the determination of the crisis; Arabic translation of the Hippocratic treatise on prognostics; according to the heading, this is the second part (farm) only of the treatise; space had been left for an illuminated heading on fol. 41b, which was not filled in; contains marginalia; quotations from the commentary on the prognostics of I lippocrates written by Ibn al-Nafis, here referred to as Qurashi. Item [5]: instructions for magical procedures and recipes to be used by physicians, one recommended by Husayn al-Misri; written in <8-> a much later and very informal hand. Fol. 77a has various owner's notations, including the statement that this is the Kanz al-atibba (The treasure of physicians) belonging to al-faqir Ishaq al-tabib (the physician) in year 1251 [1835-36], and another statement that this Kanz al-atibba belonged to one of the skilled wound-healers (ahad min al-hudhdhaq al-sabur) Ishaq Dhilta al-Yahudi... al-mutatabbib fi Dimashq al-Sham (medical practitioner in Damascus), presumably the same owner; his assistant ('abd) Ibrahim Rumanu tabib is named here and on fol. 38a in an owner's signature; on fol. 39a it is stated that the owner (malik) is Ishaq, physician (tabib) in Damascus in the year 1240 [1824-5]. Sommer (SchuUian & Sommer. Cat. of incun. & MSS. NLM, 1950), p. 306, incorrectly catalogued this manuscript as Kanz al-atibba, written by Malik Ishaq, a Jewish physician of Damascus, taking information from the owner's notes rather than text itself. Purchased in 1941 by the Army Medical Library from A. S. Yahuda who acquired it in Cairo (ELS 1665 Med. 44) along with NLM MS A23 which was acquired in Cairo in the same lot. Items [2], [3], and [4] are written in the same hand, which is somewhat similar to that of item [1]; item [5] is in a very different, recent, and casual hand; catchwords, rubrications, red overlinings.

Manuscript. Arabic. An important treatise on antidotes for poisons; a unique copy. Title given near beginning of text (fol. lb line 11); Sommer (SchuUian & Sommer. Cat. of incun. & MSS, 1950) gives title: Sharh al-tiryaq al-faruq, given on a paper bag in which the unbound MS. was kept; the text, however, is not a sharh (commentary). Author's name given (fol. lb line 2) as: 'Abd al-'Azim <20> al-Ansari; evidently the author lived in Syria and was familiar with the plants and plant names of Syria and nearby regions; he is probably the same as the author of a different treatise on antidotes which was composed in 1268 by 'Ali ibn 'Abd al-'Azim al-Ansari al-mutatabbib and is preserved today in a single copy in Princeton University Library (Garrett MS 566H, entry no. 1104). The treatise includes extensive quotations from other treatises on plants and on antidotes, especially those by al-Tamini and Ibn al-Suri, who is known to have prepared an illustrated herbal with figures drawn from plants he observed on his travels; the writings on antidotes by al-Tamimi and all the writings of al-Suri are lost today, and this treatise may be the only source of information regarding them. Spaces of up to half a line have been left blank on the first two folios, apparently to be filled in later in colored ink; a similar lacuna could account for the missing first part of the author's name; rubrications elsewhere in the manuscript; catchwords; written in a very elegant Naskhi script. According to the colophon (fol. 315a lines 11-14) the writing of this book was completed (al-faragh min ta'lifiha) during the middle ten days (al-'ashr al-awsat) of the month of Muharram 669 (28 August to 8 September 1270). Copy undated; appearance of paper, handwriting, ink, etc., suggest a dating of the early 17th cent. In the collection of the Army Medical Library by 1946; provenance unknown. Two small illustrations of balances found on fol. 46b and 313a; charts on fol. 298a, 300b and 301b. Some marginal corrections by the scribe; occasional textual corrections in several later hands; fol. la is blank except for a penciled title (sharh-i tiryaq), an English title, and an older Persian title: Risalah-i tibb (Treatise on medicine). Paper is thin, creamy and burnished, with only laid lines visible; pages have been trimmed; some leaves are repaired along the edges.

Manuscript. Arabic. Title given on the title page (fol. la). The title page (fol. la) gives the author's name, inaccurately, as: Da'ud al-hakim (Da'ud the doctor); a later owner's label, pasted on the front endpaper, identifies the author as Da'ud al-Antaki; Sommer (SchuUian & Sommer. Cat. of incun. & MSS., 1950) p. 308, identifies him as Da'ud ibn 'Umar al-Antaki, who died in 1599, but al-Antaki is not known to have written on prophetic medicine. A complete copy of the shorter version of the treatise on prophetic medicine by al-Dhahabi; the treatise is divided into three chapters (farms), on general medical principles, on drugs and regimen, and on the therapy of diseases. Text corresponds to that printed in the margins of Ibrahim ibn 'Abd al-Rahman ibn Abi Bakr al-Azraq's Tashil al-manafi fi al-tibb wa-al-hikmah, Cairo, 1887 (p. 2-185) and 1948 (p. 2-203), where it is ascribed to Abu 'Abd Allah Muhammad ibn Ahmad ibn 'Uthman al-Dhahabi; al-Dhahabi is not named in this manuscript. The shorter version of this treatise is also found in Oxford Bodleian MS Marsh 89, where no author is given, and in Berlin MS We. 1199 (entry no. 6297) where it is attributed to Jalal al-Din al-Suyuti; NLM MS A79 is a longer version of the same treatise. Ascribed by its English translator, C.J. Elgood, to Jalal al-Din al-Suyuti, though the manuscript used for the translation was attributed to one Abu Sulayman (cf. Cyril J. Elgood, Tibb-ul-Nabbi or Medicine of the prophet. Being a translation of two works of the same name, Osiris, 1962, vol. 14, p. 33-192); however, the Berlin manuscript of this treatise is dated 1391, eliminating al-Suyuti, who lived 1445-1505, as a possible author. Copy finished 18 Muharram 957 (6 February 1550) by the scribe Ahmad ibn Muhammad Isma'il al-Ghazzi known as ('urifa bi-) al-Balmufi (fol. 88a, lines 10-11). Purchased in 1941 by the Army Medical Library from A. S. Yahuda, who acquired it from a dealer in Homs, Syria (ELS no. 1733, Med. 28). <57> This MS lacks the section on listening to music, which is present at the end of printed Cairo eds and on p. 175-176 of Hlgood's translation, the section on smallpox and measles, on p. 176-77 of I I good's translation, occurs earlier in this manuscript. Catchwords, rubrications; brown ink; marginal corrections by scribe and by later hands; some other marginalia. Paper is thick, brownish; watermarked; laid lines and single chain lines visible; waterstained. Pasted to the front endpaper is a cartouche cutout from what appears to be a tooled leather binding, and in the center of the cartouche arc the words 'amal 'Umar (the work of'Umar); also on the front endpaper is a modem owner's label bearing the ELS number and the Arabic text: Kitab tibb li-ra'is Da'ud al-Antaki wa-huwa al-tibb al-nabawi (Book of medicine, that is, prophetic medicine by Ra'is Da'ud al-Antaki).

Author is not named; the anonymous author supplies a list of writings and authorities on the subject of fevers, all of the eleventh century or earlier, that he consulted in writing this treatise. A recent Arabic note on a bookplate of the former owner A. S. Yahuda suggests that this treatise might be by Ibn al-Akfani; his name is also penciled, in Latin characters, on fol. [la]; this manuscript was ascribed to this author by Sommer (SchuUian & Sommer, Cat. of incun. & mss., 1950, p. 302); no such title is recorded in the bibliographical literature on Ibn al-Akfani or in other manuscript collections; for lack of evidence, it remains merely a suggestion that it is a treatise by Ibn al-Akfani. Appearance of paper, ink, handwriting, etc., suggests 16th c. date. Purchased in 1941 by the Army Medical Library from A. S. Yahuda who acquired it is Egypt (ELS 1694, MS 65).

Title given in colophon (fol. 256a (old 257a) line 19); upper left corner of fol. la contains title: al-juz al-awwal min sharh Qanun bi-Hakim 'Ali (The first part of the commentary on the Qanun by Hakim 'Ali). The author of the commentary is not apparently named in the manuscript; however the text and most of the marginalia correspond exactly to that in India Office MS Arabic Loth 781, fol. 12b-598a, which was composed by Hakim 'Ali Jilani, though the cataloger noted that the surname Jilani was given to him in an inscription of later date; the text, but not the marginalia, corresponds also to the British Library MS Or. 5586, which is catalogued as vol. 1 of the commentary on the Qanun by 'Ali al-Jilani; S. Hamarneh, Arabic MSS. NLM. J. Hist. Arab. Science (1977)), p. 92, doubts the attribution to Hakim 'Ali. In the long preface to the commentary (found in India Office MS Arabic Loth 781, but omitted from this copy) the commentator, Hakim 'Ali, criticises his predecessors, including Ibn al-Nafis and Muhammad ibn Mahmud al-Amuli who, he says, wrote their commentary hastily and without much preparation and care, for the use of princes coming from remote lands to read the Qanun with him; both of these earlier writers are frequently cited in this copy; Hakim 'Ali goes on to recommend his own commentary, on which he spent over 30 years of his life. TTie copious marginalia contain several references to al-Amuli; these may be an attempt by a later copyist to draw attention to al-Amuli's earlier commentary or they may refer to a different al-Amuli, possibly Tzz al-Din Muhammad ibn al-Amuli (d. 1852), as suggested by Hamarneh, Arabic MSS. NLM. J. Hist. Arab. Science (1977), p. 92; most of these marginalia are also found in the margins of the India Office copy; a recent owner's label on the front endpaper states in Arabic that the volume is Sharh kulliyat Qanun ibn Sina (Commentary on the first book of the Qanun of Avicenna) by I lakim 'Ali, with a commentary (sharh) by al-Amuli. Copy undated; appearance of paper, handwriting, ink, etc. suggests a dating of ca. 18th cent. Purchased in 1941 by the Army Medical Library from A. S. Yahuda who acquired it from a dealer in Lahore (ELS no. 1601, Med. 77). A nearly complete copy of the commentary; one folio is missing following folio 54, for which reason the old numbering, beginning at fol. 56, is off by one from the recent foliation; the colophon indicates that the commentary on the 2nd book should follow, but it is missing from this copy. Includes illustrations of cranial sutures on fol. 57a (old 58a), 57b (old 58b), 60b (old 61b), and 83a (old 84a); an illustration of the upper jaw on 60a (old 61a), and an unfinished head in the margin of 100b (old 101b). Prelim, folios [lb-3b] contain a table of contents in a later hand; fol. [l]a is blank except for misc. notes, including the statement that it is a commentary on the Qanun, and an owner's stamp. Fol. la is blank except for note of title in the left comer and two later short notes. Folio 256b (old 257b) has later notes on an unidentified subject, written diagonally and upside down; folio 257a old (258a) has notes in two different hands giving numerical values of letters.

Described in: SchuUian & Sommer. Cat. of incun. & MSS., 1950, P24. Item [1] (fol. lb-lOb): Ladhdhat al-nisa' (translation: The enjoyment of women); an incomplete copy of one of several Persian versions of a Hindi text called Kok-shastar or Kokasara attributed to one Koka and based on a Sanskrit text; Koka pandit wrote in Sanskrit a book entitled Ratirahasya (On the art of love) and it is probably this book from which the later Hindi and Persian versions derive (see CA. Storey, Persian lit., 1971, p. 321-322). Koka is also called Kuka several times in the text (fols. 2b and 6a) and the title of the Hindi (or Sanskrit) original is called Kama Sastar (fols. 6a line 4). Item [1] in this copy begins with a long introduction giving the background of Kuka's composition (fols. lb-6a), followed by a table of contents outlining the ten chapters; the text breaks off during the first chapter (bab) on fol. 10b; it is illustrated by full-page miniatures, painted in a variety of colors with gilt (fols. 3b, 4a, 7b, 8b, 9b), and half or three-quarter miniatures <154> (fols. 5a and 5b), of late or provincial Mughal style. Item [2] (fol. I la-22b) consists of anonymous, untitled love poetry; each page contains six quatrains, mostly written diagonally, illustrated with full-page miniatures drawn in black ink with gilt and only a little color, usually blue shading or red accents, in late Mughal style (fols. 12b, 13b, 14a, 14b, 15a, 15b, 16b, 17b, 18a, 18b, 19b, 20b, 21 b, 22b), by a different artist from that of item [1]. The illus. on fol. 18b is signed the work of Shaykh Muhammad, possibly the same as the painter of the same name who drew a portrait of the Mughal ruler Awrangzib (d. 1707), now in the British Library (MS Or. 4566, fol.la). Item [3] (fol. 23a-27b): anonymous, untitled; recipes for compound drugs serving as tonics to increase the pleasure of sexual intercourse and recipes for antidotes to animal and plant poisons; no illustrations.

This manuscript is closely related to the Berlin MS We. 193, copied about 1800, which contains the first twelve items in precisely the same order (see Berlin entries nos. 8569, 8568, 8560, 1411, 9396, 8566, 8559, 8563, 8564, 8567, 8557, and 8558); other Berlin MSS contain copies of a few of the maqamahs (for example, Berlin entry no. 8555 has items 2, 7, and 8, and no. 8556 has items 6, 7, and 8); no other copy of Item [13] is recorded. The first twelve items in the volume appear to have been copied by the same scribe, who is named at the end of item 9 as Muhammad ibn Ibrahim al-Halwani al-Shafi'i (fol. 30a line 13); item [13] appears to be a later addition in a different hand.

Text is incomplete in this copy, containing only the first three tashkhises (or subsections of the tashkhisat), including a detailed alphabetical list of medicaments and their synonyms in various languages (i.e. Indian dialects, Arabic, Turkish, and Persian). An Arabic translation of these same sections of the treatise are found in NLM MS A42; a second partial copy of the Persian alphabetical drug list is found in NLM MS P22.
