Summary of Contents: The latter part of Book vi (from Guftár xi, Juz' i, Báb I to Guftár xxi, Báb 5) of the same Dhakhira-i-Khwárazmsháhí, dealing with local diseases a capite ad calcem, beginning in this MS. with the liver, and ending with gout and sciatica. This MS. was also one of the forty-seven bought from the Belshah collection in January, 1920. It is not only acephalous and incomplete at the end, but the leaves have been bound in the wrong order and there are half a dozen dislocations. They are now numbered correctly, as far as possible, and stand in the following order: (4) Ff. 1-19. Guftar xi, i, 1-Guftar xi, ii, 1. (F) Ff. 246-256. Guftar xx, iii, 6-Guftar xxi, 3 (E) Ff. 224-245. Guftár xx, ii, 2-Guftár xx, iii, 5. (B) Ff. 20-28. Guftar xi, ii, 2-Guftar xi, iii, 2. (D) Ff. 48-223. Guftar xiii, ii, 1-Guftár xx, ii, 2. (C) Ff. 29-47. Guftár xi, iii, 2-Guftár xiii, ii, 1. (G) Ff. 257-262. Guftár xxi, 3-Guftár xxi, 5. There are also 26 ff. at the end on medicaments in which chapter-headings 2-8, 10, 12 and 15 occur. The chief preparations described fall under the following headings: (۱) مفرح (۲) معجون (۳) جوارش (۴) اطریفل (۵) مربا (٦) اشربه و ربوب (۷) لعوق (۸) سفوف (1) حبّ (۱۰) قرص ، (۱۱) شیاف (۱۲) دهن In this portion also there are several dislocations and lacunae. The MS. comprises 288 ff. of 23.8 x 16 c. and 19 ll., and is written throughout (except in the case of the last 26 ff., which are in a much more modern naskh hand) in a clear and archaic naskh, apparently of the fourteenth century of the Christian era. There are rubrications throughout.
Contains the latter part of book VI only.
