Lot Essay
The present work is a copy of al-Razi’s notebook, where he stored extracts from earlier authors writing on the topics of diseases and therapies. Alongside these cuttings are also medical observations from al-Razi’s own experiences. Following his death, his pupils organised his notes into sections based on diseases and pharmacological topics (Savage-Smith, 2011, pp. 162-171).
Aside from this version, there are three other known volumes of this work, the earliest (AH 845/1441 AD) is in the Bodleian Library, and two other copies are in the British Library (Brockelmann, pp. 418-419.)
