- Abstract: Elegant copy of a commentary on al-Lamḥah al-ʻAfīfīyah fī al-ṭibb, a work on medicine by Abū Saʻd ibn Abī Surūr al-Sāwī al-Isrāʼīlī ibn Amīr al-Dawlah, also known as al-ʻAfīf ibn Abī Saʻīd al-Sāwī (see Kashf al-ẓunūn, ed.

The seal on fol. 292b is apparently related to this statement.Binding note: Dark brown leather on paper pasteboards for upper and lower covers, fore-edge flap and envelope flap (the last two disbound). Both covers have a central floral gilt pattern and a border consisting of gilt fillets and a Greek key pattern, with a floral motif in each inner corner. Similar border on the envelope flap.
