It was also known as al-Kitāb al-Malakī (The Royal Book). It was dedicated to the Būyid ruler ’Adud al-Dawlah Fanā-Khusraw (reg. 338 AH/949 CE−372 AH/983 CE). It comprises two books: the first (juz’) is on medical theory in ten sections (maqālahs) and the second on therapeutics, also in ten sections maqālahs. ’Alī ibn al-’Abbās al-Majūsī was of Persian extraction, and it is possible that his activities were restricted to Shiraz, never actually leaving Iran. His forebearers were Zorastrian (hence the name al-Majūsī), though he himself seems to have been a Muslim.This image is from a 10-folio quire from a copy completed in 556 AH/1161 CE of the last nine chapters (bābs) from the tenth and final section (maqālah), on compound remedies, of the second section of the medical encyclopaedia. The copy was completed on 5 Rabīʿ II 556 AH/4 May 1161 CE for his own use by the physician Yūsuf\u200d ibn Ḥaydarah ibn al-Ḥasan al-mutaṭabbib. The date is also given in the Alexandrian era as 27 April 1472.
