MS Hunter 40 f.2r, frontispiece depicting Ahiqar, Plato, Galen and Aristotle, and facing page, from 'The arrangement of bodies for treatment' by Ibn Jazla (pen & ink and w/c on paper)
This Arabic manuscript, written on stout oriental paper, probably dates from fifteenth century Mesopotamia. It is written mostly in Syriac script - Serta for the main text, and Estrangela for inscriptions on the illumination. Arabic script is also employed for the headings to the tables. Such manuscripts are called Karshūnī and the practice is exclusive to Arabic written by Syrian Christians.
(right to left) Aristotle, Galen and Plato depicted on the illuminated frontispiece to this codex. The fourth figure is labelled 'this is Hayqār Hakīm .' who may be identified with Ahiqar (Hayqār in Arabic) the legendary wise man and counsellor of Sennacherib, the king of Assyria. At the head of this page, in Arabic (in Arabic script) is the statement: 'These are the wise who know God: He is the wise the healer'. On the opposite page, in both Syriac and Arabic, at the top: Origanis; at the foot: Hermes Augustus.
Ibn Jazla (d.1100) dedicated this work 'the arrangement of bodies for treatment' to the Abbasid Caliph al-Muqtadi bi-Amr Allah. In it, illnesses, dietary matters and hygiene are treated in tabular form (hence Taqwim, Latinised as Tacuinum). In all there are 44 tables, describing 352 maladies. In each case the name of the illness, its cause and symptoms are recorded on one page, and an appropriate curative regime (tadbīr) is indicated on the page facing.
