A fragment from a medical treatise including sections on the pulse and urine, in Farsi, decorated manuscript on thick paper [Ilkhanid Persia, early fourteenth century] 38 leaves, single column, 17 lines black naskh, chapter numbers and divisions (bab) written in elongated and bold black script influenced by muhaqqaq with titles in red, wide margins, Ilkhanid or early Timurid seal impression in margin of folio 8r, some light waterstaining to outer margins (rarely affecting text), some light scuffing, disbound with some leaves loose, 180 by 150mm.; in modern half-morocco drop-box This manuscript was most probably copied in Tabriz, one of the main capitals of Ilkhanid Persia, which was a central location for learning and pursuit of the natural sciences, history and astronomy at the time. The fine execution of the calligraphy in the present manuscript and the distinctive divisions in its texts firmly place it in this region and period. A close comparable is the Dhakhirat-i Khwarazmshahi of al-Jurjani, made in Persia, c. 1300, formerly in the Hagop Kevorkian collection (Sothebys, 18 April 1983, lot 143).
