Summary of Contents: قرابادین An acephalous and anonymous Arabic work on foods, medicines, etc., arranged
alphabetically. The first extant section (fas) begins on f. 3": The next section begins on f. 10": فصل واما الاغذية التي يكره الجمع منها في المعدة الخ فصل واما مقادير اوزان الأدوية المفردة المتحد منها الأدوية المركبة الخ 44 .on f تنبول or تامول with) باب (التا then ; باقلی n f g with باب البا) next letter The alphabetical list of medicaments () begins with on f. 11'; the and finally the (s) on f. 196. The last entry (on f. 198) is, in the
middle of which article the MS. breaks off. The MS., bought of Hajji 'Abdu'l-Majid Belshah in January, 1920, comprises
in its present imperfect state 198 ff. of 22.8 x 8.8 c. and about 31 ll. The latter portion
(ff. 90-198) is in a much better and more archaic hand (probably thirteenth or
fourteenth century) than the earlier supply, which is in a poor nasta liq. There are
rubrications in both, and many marginal notes, especially in the older portion. A
few of these are in Persian, e.g. on f. 150 opposite the entry 3 the Persian
Dhakhira-i-Khwárazmsháhí is quoted as follows: در ذخیره آمده است کی قثا الحماررا علقم خوانند
