FOREWORD

It is a particular pleasure to introduce Dr. Fateme Keshavarz's distinguished catalogue of the Persian manuscripts preserved in the Library of the Wellcome Institute for the History of Medicine. Her devoted labours resulting in her Ph.D. thesis have produced a detailed description and analysis of what i$ probably the last "untouched" major European resource in the field. Many outstanding manuscripts are included, some of them texts that had not been described before, but pride of place must surely be granted to the horoscope, dated A.H. 813lA.D. 1411, of Prince Iskandar Sultan, grandson of Timur. This unique and beautiful document has excited considerable scholarly interest and the first results of its intensive study are already appearing in the literature.

Dr. Keshavarz's catalogue will undoubtedly form the starting-place for much fruitful research, not only within the narrower compass of medieval Persian medicine and science, but also in many of the broader aspects of general Islamic and Middle Eastern studies. As she points out in her introduction, the history of Persian medicine cannot be adequately studied without recourse to other disciplines, many of which are represented in this catalogue.

This catalogue of Persian manuscripts is part of a continuing effort to bring to the attention of scholars the wealth of primary sources available in the Wellcome Instibite Library. Its appearance serves to underline once again the conviction of our founder, Sir Henry S. Wellcome, that the study of the history of medicine and its allied sciences is a global endeavour embracing all peoples, their languages and cultures, throughout recorded history.

Without the generous financial support of the Wellcome Trustees neither Dr. Keshavarz's years of research resulting in this catalogue nor its ensuing publication would have been possible. This support however is well rewarded in the following pages which earned the author The Dunn and Wilson Award for a Work of Distinction in 1984185. It will be an important source of research in the field for scholars well into the twenty-first century.

PREFACE

This is a catalogue of 617 Persian manuscripts of predominantly medical and scientific content. The catalogue opens with an introduction describing the scope and the provenance of the collection with special reference to significant manuscripts representing prominent authors in major subjects. It then provides a descriptive and analytical entry for each text. The entries, varying in detail, aim at supplying the following information in the order presented below: (a) a bibliographical description of the text namely the title, the name of the author, the date and place of composition as well as any other relevant information which would throw light on the creation of the intellectual content of the work (e.g. the occupation or educational background of the author). (b) a full description of the contents and subdivisions of the text with special reference to additions, omissions, or other variations it may exhibit in comparison with other copies described elsewhere. (c) a physical description of the manuscript including: the foliation and size, identification of the hand, paper, and binding, missing and damaged folios, as well as the date or the estimated date of the copy. (d) references to other copies of the text in major collections throughout the world, followed by an account of the printed editions if any. Here, references are also made to significant bibliographical sources such as C. A. Storey's survey of Persian literature.

The catalogue has a subject arrangement within which the texts appear under their alphabetically arranged titles. Where a title is represented by more than one copy, the order is chronological. Three Persian-English glossaries are provided for the technical terminology most frequently used in the catalogue.

Finally the catalogue ends with the six following indexes: author's names, title, names of the copyists, places of copying, dated manuscripts, and a concordance of shelf and catalogue numbers.

In the preparation of the present catalogue I am greatly indebted to the Wellcome Trustees and the Wellcome Institute for the History of Medicine for providing me with the opportunity as well as the necessary financial support to work on their Persian collection. In particular, I would like to thank the Curator of the Oriental Collection, Dr. Nigel Allan, for his constant help and encouragement.

I would also like to thank Dr. David H. Bivar of the School of Oriental and African Studies and Mr. John H. McIlwaine of University College, London, who spared freely of their time and expertise to help me complete this project.

I owe a great debt of gratitude to Mr. Ahmet Karamustafa for typing a sizeable portion of the text, his help in proof-reading and for constant encouragement and support. My thanks are also due to Mrs. Sabrina Qassam, Mr. George Lemos and Mr. Bruce Wannell for their help at various stages of the work. Finally, in designing the layout of the present catalogue I have benefited from the suggestions of Mr. Adam Gacek of the Library of the Institute of Ismaili Studies, whose kind attention is here gratefully acknowledged.

Notes on the presentation and use of the catalogue


The present catalogue has a subject arrangement. Due to their

significance in the colleckion, the medical works come first,

grouped in smaller subject divisions within the field of medicine

(e.g. diagnosis, treatment, blood-letting and surgery). The

scientific texts come next, similarly classified under more

specific topics (e.g. astronomy and astrology, mineralogy,

alchemy). The rest of the texts are arranged in relatively broad

subject divisions such as S6 f ; works or history. Within each subject,

the titles appear in alphabetical order. When a text is represented

by more than one copy, the arrangement is chronological.

A separate catalogue entry is devoted to each text (i.e. a

composite manuscript comprising three texts is described in three

entries, while three copies of one text occupy one entry; for

details see below).

Each catalogue entry begins with a catalogue number. These

numbers form a continuous sequence. The entries themselves are

divided into five main areas devoted respectively to the title,

the author, the content, the Wellcome Mss. and Mss. in other

collections.

The first area "titleN

This area contains:

1. the title of the work in its transliterated form as well as in

the vernacular.

2. variant readings of the title, or alternative titles, if any .


3 . dedication and the date of the composition, where available.

4. information concerning the sources used in the composition of

the work.

The second area "author"

This area aims at providing:

1. the name of the author in its transliterated form and in the

vernacular, as well as the variations in the name.

2. short biographical notes particularly concerning the medical

career of the physicians.

3. references to other major compositions of the author especially

those represented in the Wellcome collection.

The third area "content"

This area comprises:

1. a description of the contents and the subdivisions of the work.

This description is usually given in English. Where translation

might prove inaccurate, or be inadequate, parts of the original

text are produced in the vernacular. Details of this section depend

on the requirement of each text, its significance for the present

catalogue, and the adequacy of the description provided for it

elsewhere.

The fourth area "Wellcome Mss."

While the first three areas supply the reader with the basic

bibliographical information concerning a work, the present area de-

scribes the manuscripts of that work preserved in the Wellcorne collec-

10 Notes on the presentation and use of the catalogue

tion. The present area contains the following items, which are

separated by a semicolon:

1. shelf number of the manuscript preceded by the letters WMS.Per.

(standing for Wellcm manuscript, Persian), e.g. ~~s.ber.764. In the

case of composite manuscripts, this number is followed by a letter

of the alphabet enclosed in round brackets, e.g. WMS.Per.l64(A).

When a text is represented by more than one copy, the shelf number

is preceded by a letter of the alphabet, e.g. A. WMS. Per.I64(A).

2. foliation, measurements sf tne codex and t h e number of lines.

3. details of the script. In this part, in addition to a descrip-

tion of the script (e.g. - Naskh, Nastacliq), the hands are classified

as personal, professional, or calligraphic. Personal hands are those

employed for informal writing. They are often idiosyncratic and

difficult to categorise. Professional hands are those produced by

professional scribes usually commissioned to copy a text. Such hands

are less idiosyncratic and more loyal to the rules of a certain

script. Calligraphic hands are those professional hands which, in *

addition to staying loyal to the rules, exhibit an artistic merit.

4. illuminations, subtitles, and rulings of the folios.

5. type of paper (i.e. Oriental or Western). This is followed by

other details such as chain and laid lines, watermarks, distribution

of the pulps etc. Papers of unusual thickness are classified as

fine, medium thick or thick.

* My thanks are due to Mr. Adam Gacek of the Library of the Institute of Ismaili Studies, London who first drew my attention to the two categories of "personal" and "formal" hands. See Adam Gacek, ~ataiogue of ~rabic manuscripts in the Library of the ~nstitute of Ismaili Studies. London: Islamic Publications, 1984, p.xiv.

Notes on the presentation and use of the catalogue 11

6. damaged, missing or blank folios as well as damaged, missing or

wrong catch-words.

7. number of the flyleaves, a brief description of the notes found

on the flyleaves as well as those written in the margins of other

folios.

8. a description of the binding.

9. date of the copying. This date, which is usually given in the

Muslim ~ijrf calendar in the manuscript, in the entry is preceded

by the letters A.H. When it is given in the Indian Vikrama sayat in

the manuscript, in the entry it is preceded by the letters V.S.

In the case of the ~ i j r i dates, the Western equivalent is provided

in square brackets, preceded by the letters A.D., e.g. A.H. 12141

[A.D. 17991. For dates in the Vikrm sapat both the Hijr; and the

Western equivalents are given in square brackets, eg. V.S. 1894/

[A.H. 1253/A.D. 18371. An estimated date in the - Hijri and Western

calendars, enclosed in round brackets, is provided for undated

manuscripts, e.g. undated (A.H. 12/A.D. 18th cent.).

The above nine items are followed by the name of the copyist, the

place of copying, and a record of the seals, notes of endowment,

notes of ownership or any other significant notes found in the

manuscript. Here are also recorded additions, omissions or any

other variations that the copy in question may exhibit in comparison

to other copies described elsewhere.

10. the last items in this area are the incipits and the explicits

of the texts, which are given in the vernacular. When a text is

represented by more than one copy, identical, or very similar,

incipits are not repeated. The explicits, however, are given for


every manuscript, as they usually vary from one manuscript to

another. The following signs have been employed to signify certain

characteristics of the text:

1. [...I

3. . . . (at the beginning of the incipit or at the end of the explicit)

4. . . . (at all places other than those mentioned in no. 3 above)

5. a word with a question mark, enclosed in square brackets

C F -if]

illegibility

damage

lacuna

omission by the cataloguer

reading suggested by the cataloguer

unexpected reading (possibly a scribal mistake)

no apparent meaning

The fifth area "Mss. in other collections"

This area aims at locating copies of the texts in other collec-

tions. For this purpose references are made to nine sources (these

sources are marked with a plus sign in the table of abbreviations).

When possible, there are also references to the printed editions

(the bibliographies consulted for this purpose are marked with two

small circles (g ) in the table of abbreviations, p. 15 below).


Glossaries and indexes

Three selective Persian-English glossaries are provided:

1. a glossary of the technical terms commonly used in manuscripts

with reference to the content, subdivisions, and arrangement of the

texts in general (e.g. bakhsh "section", - sharh "commentary"), p.16

below.

2. a glossary of general medical terms most frequently used in the

texts (e.g. asbab va CalZmZt "causes and symptoms", tab "fever"),

p.18 below.

3. a glossary of general scientific terms most frequently used in

the texts (e.g. - bisZb "arithmetic", qirzn "conjunction"), p.22 below.

To facilitate the use of the catalogue, the following six indexes

are provided: author's names, titles, names of the copyists, places

of copying, dated manuscripts, and a concordance of shelf and

catalogue numbers (pp.645-701 below).

Trans1 i teration

The Library of Congress transliteration system for Persian and

Arabic has been adopted in the present catalogue. Many

works in the Persian language appear under Arabic titles. Similarly,

many authors with Arabic names write in Persian. The system of

transliteration, therefore, has been selected in accordance with

the language of the text as opposed to the name and nationality of

the author or the language of the title (for the table of trans-

literation see p.14 below).

INTRODUCTION

26 Introduction: The Wellcome Library and its Persian collection

The Wellcome Library and its Persian collection

The library of the Wellcome Institute, situated in London,

specializes in the history of medicine and covers a wide range of

subject-matter relevant to the art of healing in ancient times.' This

library, now owned by the Wellcome Trust, was founded in the 19th

century by Sir Henry Wellcome (1853-1936) who took special interest

in Oriental manuscripts. The Oriental section of the library contains

over 10,000 manuscripts in more than 30 languages, of which Sanskrit,

Persian, Arabic and Chinese are the largest parts. The writing materials

range from palm-leaves, tree-barks, bamboo and paper to ivory and even

a human shoulder blade. 2

The cataloguing work on the collection is still in its early stages.

In 1967, nearly 200 Arabic manuscripts were covered by A.Z. Iskandar 3

and in 1972 the Ethiopian section was catalogued by S. Strelcyn. 4

Presently, D. Wujastyk is preparing a handlist of the Sanskrit manu-

scripts, volume one of which is in the press.

The Persian collection, which is the subject of the present catalogue,

was formed through purchases in various parts of the world including

Iran itself. The major collecting effort was pursued in India by Dr.

Paira Mall between 1911 and 1921 while he was in the employment of the

Wellcome Institute. Dr. Mall was a medical dxtor acquainted with the

Persian language. He therefore succeeded in assembling a collection

in which almost all the notable Persian medical works, from the 4th

century Hijri onwards, are represented (details will be found in the

section devoted to medicine, p.52 below).

Dr. Mall and other founders of the Persian collection appreciated

that the history of Persian medicine could not be adequately studied

without reference to alchemy, mineralogy, astrology and a wide range

of mystical, or quasi-magical activities including numerology, letter

excercises ('i lm-i Qur'uf or 'ilm-i jafr) ,5 techniques of prognostics- C . tion (e.g. ~ l m - i ram^),^ and the construction of talismans and

amulets. These subjects, which involve aspects of what today would

be classified as the theory of numbers, therapy by suggestion or

para-psychology were considered to be of medical significance in

medieval East. Astrological knowledge, for instance was thought to

be so essential to a physician that al- 'Ayndarbi (C~dnan b. Nasr 548/

1153) a medieval astrologer and physician,' wrote a book called

Kitab fi ma yahtaj al-tabib min 'ilm al-falak " What the physician

needs to know of astrology".8 Also there are examples of incantations,

28 Introd~iction: The Wellcome Library and its Persian collection

The Wellcome manuscript ~ujK'-i shaykh ila ~abZh f? taqviyat-i bah, 9

a work on sexual hygiene, contains two amulets recommended for birth

control. Both amulets are attributed to Jacfar al-$diq (the 6th Imam

of the Shicites, d. 148/765). The first is a verse of the and

the second a combination of four names of God (for other examples of

amulet-therapy see p.368 belm). Such widely used devices, however

debatable their medical effects may be, should not escape the atten-

t ion 3f the Wical historian. Fortunately the We1 lcome col lection contains

examples of all the above-mentioned subjects.

Here we survey the contents of the collection, dealing first with

manuscripts of which the main value is literary or devotional (some of

these have incidental medical interest), and in greater detail with

those relating to medicine and science.

Poetical literature

Persian literature includes two categories of versified writing:

shiCr "poetry", and n a g "verse". The latter consists of largely

mechanical versification, compiled in rhyme mainly for mnemonic

purposes. An example of this is the Ni@b al-siby~n,'O a versified

Arabic - Persian dictionary by AbG Nasr ~arahi (8th century A.H.).

While we group works of - nazm with strictly scientific works, the few

examples of literary poetry will be mentioned first, and followed by

a short account of more important general prose works.

9 WMS.Per.226, f.113a. 10 WMS.Per.235 and 218(A).

The earliest poet represented in the collection is ~irdawsr of

1% (322-4111933-1020), by partial copies of his famous epic the Shahinamah , the most complete of which is illustrated with 26

miniature paintings (undated; perhaps 17th century). saCdr of

Shiraz (580-691/1184-1291) should also be mentioned, since one copy

of his Bustan and three of his GulistZn are in the collection. 12

Among other poets is @fi< of Shiraz (d. 791 or 79211388 or 1389)

whose is represented by four fragmentary,13 and one complete

copy.14 This last, neatly transcribed and dated A.H. 1046/[A.0. 16361.

contains the preface written by the poet's friend Muhammad Gul1and%r

who collected and edited the ~ivan. 15

A poet with medical interests

Because of the medical emphasis of the Wellcome collection, of

all the poets who are represented, special attention should be devoted

to ~haqanr of ~hTrvZn (Afral al- in Ibrahim b. 'AlT, d. 589 or 595/

1193 or 1198). He is a poet celebrated for the difficulty and erudi-

tion of his verse, largely due to his extensive knowledge of meta-

physics, astrology, mathematics and medicine. The poet at an early

age had been left in the care of an uncle able to instruct him in

these subjects, as well as in the Arabic language. This specialized

scientific knowledge he uses to enrich the imagery of his verses,

in his rubZcTy;it "quatrains", qagZ"id "odes" and in his long masnavy

"rhyming couplets", the Tubfat al-'IrZqayn. Of this magnavy two copies

exist in the Wellcome c~llection.'~ The Tubfat al-'IrZqayn was

composed after the poet's pilgrimage to Mecca in 551 A.H., in the

course of which he visited Baghdad, al-Kijfah and also al-~adlnah. As

its title, "A present from the two Iraqs", implies it is primarily a

travel account and does not refer directly to the poet's scientific

interests. Using his specialized knowledge,however, KhaqZni adopts a

wide range of technical images allegorically to describe the scenery,

and to illustrate his feelings at various stages of the journey.

Musical, philosophical, astrological and mathematical, as well as

medical, technicalities are included.

Despite the well-known importance of the scientific aspects of

~hFiqzny's poems, no systematic study has yet been devoted to these

aspects. The literary qualities of the poet's works have, in the minds

of the commentators, overshadowed such more abstruse points of interest,

the further investigation of which could throw considerable light on

the history of science in his time. It is the medical content which

concerns us here, and of 3158 verses of the Tubfat al- 'Iraqayn, no less

than 120 refer to medical matters. Thus KhZqZnT speaks of his uncle

as a doctor:

Introduction: The Wellcome Library und its Persian coliection

wa az sii-yi <am- am t.abib8gawhar BuqrZ.tlsukhan ba-haft kishvar

"Through my paternal uncle, I am of medical lineage; (and) hippocratic eloquence (known) throughout the seven climes." 18

He is fully aware of the four divisions of medical instruction

current in his time, (i) surgery and blood-letting (darrabi va fasd),

(ii) pathology (asbab va 'alam;it), (ii i ) pharmacology (qarZbXdinZt),

and (iv) the medical application of charms and amulets ('ilm-i tilism

va tacviz). Furthermore, he clearly has a detailed knowledge of the

procedures taught under these various categories. He is familiar with

the surgery practised on the eye, and with the techniques of blood-

letting. The latter procedures were performed in the presence of

witnesses, and thus widely known to the public, so that acquaintance

with them might not imply specialist knowledge. However, eye-surgery

was a far more technical subject , and apparently not a matter of

public knowledge. He refers more than once to the operation for

(in Arabic ma3 al-'ayn, most probably a kind of glaucoma), and

in one instance in some detail:

pish8Zmad u pas bi d l - i bzrik bugshzd zi chishm Zb-i tarik

sal kard bi-dast-i chZbuki ziid har mijra ki Zb-i tfrah r;i bad

"He came forward and with a needle released from the eye the cloudy fluid

Introduction: The Wellcome Library and its Persian collecrion

(then) drew the fluid, quickly with skilful hand, out of every passage it (the fluid) could find." 19

Here the detailed description of the surgery (which corresponds to

the appropriate process of surgery on glaucoma) is notable. In fact,

it reveals the aquaintance of the poet with the entire procedure.

It also indicates his awareness that the purpose of the operation

was the release of the aqueous humour (the cloudy fluid) with which

in the case of glaucoma, the routes become obstructed. The adjectives

tirah and m, meaning cloudy, which describe the aqueous humor of the eye, also correspond to the actual symptom of secondary glaucoma

in which this secretion loses its transparency. He uses the word mTl, - of course a very general term, in the technical sense of "cataract

needle", or something quite similar, which was used in the operation

for glaucoma. The verb sal kardan, which here has been translated

"to draw out", in some cases has been thought to imply "blocking by

~auterization".~~ In this case,however, cautery seems more damaging

than beneficial. Furthermore, an examination of the techniques of

Islamic eye-surgery, at least in the early periods,21 indicates that

cautery was not used for surgical proced~rre within the eye. However,

cautery on temples and elsewhere was thought to be beneficial in

19 WMS.Per.79(A), f.18a and 18b.

some cases." The translation preferred here is in fact supported

by several standard dictionaries of both Persian and Arabic, and

makes good sense within the context.["

(ii) Pathology: KhZqZni mentions over 35 diseases in the Tubfat

-al-'IrZqayn. For example, in a passage praising the prophet, he says:

khurshid zi-tigh-i tu sharFirT ast safr3'zadah'i ast $arc-dTri ast

gah gah kih na az tu jZh darad rUy-ash bahaq-i siyzh d%rad

"The sun is a flash of your sword. It(the sun) is yellow (and feverish) in its biliousness, (giddy) and epileptic. From time to time, (when) it cannot derive dignity from your presence, its face is afflicted by black leprosy." 24

The bahaq-i siyzh, here translated "black leprosy", according to

Arabic lexical sources,25 is applied to the species of leprosy in

which a blackness affects the skin, though this description does not

correspond to the findings of modern medicine.26 In numerous other

instances, not only are the specific technical names of the diseases

given but associated symptoms are described in detail.

( i i i ) Pharmacology: over 25 simple and compound medicines are

mentioned in the text, as in the following example when the poet speaks

of his father's wise advice:

kard as-pay-i marham-i dil-i man dil mfim-i safid, l a f ~ rawghan

"He made, as salve for my (broken) heart, his heart into (white wax), his words into ointment." 27

Here, the poet is refering to m!mlrawghan, a compound medicine used

to treat the fracture of bones, in this case evidently with reference

to the poet's broken heart.

(iv) The medical application of incantations and amulets. In the

Tubfat al-'~raqayn, there are frequent mentions of afsiin-i tab "charm

for fever", tacvyz "amulet", or as in the following passage tilism-i

zadan "talisman for facilitation of childbirth": -

"Everybody took (impressions) from my signet-ring, (to use as) a charm for fever and as a talisman for (facilitation of) childbirth." 28

The Tuhfat al-'Irzqayn, by its use of distinct technical terms for

amulets with different functions, enables us to study the medical

application of amulets during this period.

In addition to what we have said so far, some routines of medical

practice of the time described in the text throw light on details of

medical instruction:

Introduction: The Wellcome Library and its Persian collection

"By my side with kindliness, (he) sat in the manner of physicians visiting their patients." 29

or more specifically:

rasmi-ast tabrb-rZ, kih hamvzr, Tyad gah-i shZm nazd-i bim;ir

"It is the practice of the physician that he should come to the patient at sunset." 30

A more detailed study of KhZqZni's figurative use of medical

knowledge and terminology could throw further light on the medical

and scientific practice of his time.

From the consideration of KhZqZni's highly technical vocabulary

we pass now to a more spiritual authority.

The works of JZmy in the Wellcome collection

The last poet to be discussed here is JZmT (NZr al- in 'Abd

al-RahmXn, 817-89811414-1492). Known as Khatam al-shucarZ, and a

distinguished ~Cifi, he is the last prominent figure in Persian

classical poetry and the author of 46 works in verse and prose. 3 1

In the Wellcome collection, this output is well represented by five

of his major compositions, namely the Subhat al-abrzr, Tuhfat al-ahrZr,

36 Introduction: The Wellcome Library and its Persian coflection

Si lsilat al-zahab, Yusuf va Zulaykha and AshiCcat al-lamaiZt.

Though of less obvious medical interest then the works of ~hZqZnr,

most of J2mT's writings, concerning spiritual tranquility and integ-

ration of personality, could be seen, in terms of the beliefs of the

time, as relevant to such modern disciplines as psychiatry and psycho-

logy. Indeed, the Sufi contribution to psychological techniques, which in recent years has attracted the attention of many including some

psychiatrist^,^^ can be studied in the Wellcome manuscripts of JZmT's works.

Three of these works appear in one manuscript, neatly copied and

dated A.H. 992liA.D. 15841.~~ The Subbat al-abrzr, a maznavi on the

ethical teachings of Sufism, was composed 88711482 and dedicated to

Sultan Husayn Bayqara, the last ~TmCirid ruler in Eastern Iran (875-

89911470-93) .34 This text is written on the central portion of each

folio. On the margins appear the Tubfat al-ahrzr and the Silsilat

al-gahab. The first was dedicated to Khvajah NZsir al-Din 'Ubayd AllFih

(d.895/1489), a leader of the Naqshbandlyah order of the - Sufis often

praised by the poet,35 while the dedicatee of the second was once

again yusayn Bayqara. Both of them, much like the Subhat al-abrZr,

are didactic poems which discuss ethical issues with J?imr1s usual S 6 f I

approach.

His reputation as a convinced Sunni restricted the circulation of

JZmT's writings in Iran, especially after the Safavid ascendancy in

the early sixteenth century. In central Asia and India,however, he

maintained his reputation, being represented as a prominent poet,

and a preacher of ~iifr principIes. On the last account his name is

frequently mentioned in Indian - SufT literature. This widespread

acceptance in India enhances his significance for the present catalogue,

since it contains a large number of Indian manuscripts.

The poet's next work to be mentioned here is the Yusuf va Zulaykha,

represented in the collection by two manuscripts.36 It is the most

popular of Jimi's seven masnavTs know altogether as Haft awrang

"The seven thrones". Composed in 4000 verses, the Yusuf va ZulaykhZ re-

presents the Biblical legend of Joseph and Potiphar's wife, as

related in the Qur% and other Islamic sources.

Here we end the survey of JimT1s poems in the Wellcome collection

leaving the AshiCCat al-lamacat to be discussed in the next section

devoted to u SrfT prose works.

Introduction: The Wellcome Library and i t s Persian collection

PROSE -

The Wellcome collection's prose works, in fact, cover a wide

range of subject matter not all of which can be mentioned at this

point. Therefore, three major and well represented subjects have

been selected for discussion here, namely, ~ u f i literature, science

and medicine. It is hoped that through reference to significant

manuscripts in these subjects a reasonably realistic picture of

the contents of the collection will be presentnd.

Sufi 1 iterature

On account of the high proportion of Sufi authors represented

in the collection, we place $if7 literature first.

In the introduction to the translation of some episodes from

the Tagkirat al-awliyz' into English, A.J. Arberry refers to

Sufism as the mystical movement within Islam and describes a - $fi

as a Muslim who dedicates himself to the quest after mystical re-

union with his creator. This brief and simple description does, in

fact, embrace Sufis of various schools despite their differences

in approach and multiplicity of ideas. He also points to the Arabic

origin of the term - $if7 being derived form the word SCif meaning - 2 wool. The latter explanation has been mentioned frequently,

since the ~ i f r s used to wear a habit of woollen cloth, known as SCif -

1 The Tackirat al-awliya', being a major ~ u f T biography, will be discussed in detail later in this section.

Introduction: The Wellcome Library and i t s Persian collection 39

(various other derivations have been proposed e.g. safa "purity"). 3

It has been suggested that Sufism was an attempt to return to the

simple and austere nature of early Islam which was disappearing quick-

ly with the expansion of the Islamic empire. Arberry adopts this

view, while commenting on the origin of $fi movements

"Towards the end of the eighth century A.D. pious Muslims who remained faithful, through all trials and temptations, to the high ideals of the fathers began to form themselves into little groups for mutual encouragement and pursuit of common aims; these men and women (for there were women amongst them of a like mind), opting out of the race for the worldly advancement, took to wearing wool to proclaim their otherworldliness and were therefore nicknamed $ifis. These circles of devotees, and many isolaWanchorites besides, appeared simultaneouly in various parts of the Muslim empire. ,,4

What remains to be said is that Sufism was an intellectual and

social, as we1 l as re1 igious, movement which developed an educational

syllabus having some independence of the strict rules of established

orthodoxy, and drew authority from the leadership of saintly personages,

credited, in some cases, with the power to perform miracles, and to

communicate directly with the Deity. Consisting in its early days of

groups of isolated hermits, the movement gradually crystallized into

drganized communities, who established residences (khaniqah) for

religious observance, study and discussion. In post-Mongol Iran the

movement was divided into a number of well-organized orders, of which

the first two main sects were ~ubras~ah (founded by Najm al-Dyn Kubra,

d. 618/1221) in the East and the Suhravardiyah (founded by Shihab

al-DTn Suhraward:, d. 632/1234) in the From the beginning of

the 8th/14th century onwards, many more orders were formed, of whom

the ~aqshbandTyah in Iraq, QZdirTyah - in Iran and India, and ~hishtTyah

in India were among the more distinguished. 6

In general, the communities devoted their attention more to

the humble and impoverished sections of the comm~~nity than to the

affluent classes of official Islam. They may have recruited intellectuals

interested in contributing to social welfare, either by donation or

personal endeavour, but at the same time they did not scorn the parti-

cipation of unconventional persons of real character, who could con-

tribute to social improvement or other worthy causes. The sources of

financial support for - SGfT communities were diffuse. Donation by the

richer members of the community, in most cases, was the main resource.

The story of the wealthy murid "follower" of Junayd of Baghdad (d.297/

909), who gave all his property to be at the disposal of the - pir

"spiritual leader", is only one of many similar cases mentioned in

the Tarkirat a~-awli~Fi'.~ Amongst the financial supporters, there were,

as well, non-Sufrs who believed in the nobility of Sufi causes. In

certain cases, production of quality materials was a source of income,

as , for example, rose-essence by some Indian Chishti communities.

~cfTs, despite their major belief that the Truth should be sought

through love of God rather than scholastic training, did not despise

secular knowledge. In fact, they encouraged their followers to write

on various subjects, including non-religious matters such as alchemy

and medicine. The QarZbFidin-i QXdirT, a comprehensive pharmacapoeia of

compound medicines by the celeberated - $ffi physician Muhammad Akbar

ArzZnT (d. 114311730) is a good example. This medical compendium was

produced as a tribute to Sayyid Wbd al-QZidir of Gilan (d. 56111165)

of whose order the author was a member. 8

To maintain our subject arrangement, we group the scientific and

medical works composed by ~ G f i authors with other texts on those

subjects, and discuss here only the prominent works concerning Sufism.

Tne first text to be mentioned here, is the celeberated biography

the Tazkirat al-awliya' "memoirs of the saints" by the mystic, poet,

physician and pharmacologist <Attar . . of ~rsh2bur (~arTd al- in ~ b ; Hamid

(d.aiter 61811221). 'Attar . . is best known for his metrical work Mantiq

al-tayr "the language of the birds" in which man is recognized as

the source of ultimate Truth. Although Mantiq al-tayr has become a

classic in Persian literature, the Tazkirat al-awl iyz', concerning

lives and aphorisms of 96 - SGfTs, is considered to be of greater

historical significance. It is the third work of its kind written

8 C.A. Storey, v.11, part 2, p.270. 9 A1 so represented in the collection: WMS.Per.380.

42 Intruduction: The Wellcome Library and its Persian collection

in Persian and the most popular of a11.I0 The date of its composition

is not known. Browne notes,however, that '~ttar . . spent thirty-nine

years of his life in collecting the verses and sayings of - SZfT saints.

This note, which is based on one of the poet's last compositions called

Lisan al-ghayb, indicates that this biography was written during the

poet's old age. The two previous collections of biographies, the

Kashf al-mabjGb of al-Hujvir? (d. after 465/1072) and the Tabaqat

al-$f?yah of KhvZjah 'Abd Allah ~n;Zr< (d. 481/1088), were soon over-

shadowed by 'Attar's work. This popularity of the Ta~kirat al-awliyZy,

which has lasted ever since, is largely due to its simple and eloquent

style.

In the Wellcome collection there is a remarkably old, though un-

finished and undated, copy of this text. It is estimated to belong to the

late 7th or early 8th century A.H. (late 13th or early 14th century

A.O.).The text is written in very good Naskh and the manuscript is of - large format (304~220mm).

The second - $Gfi text to be introduced here is the ~rmiya-yi saczdat

"The alchemy of happiness" by ~hazzzli of Tiis (Imam ~bii Hamid Muhammad

450-505/1058-1111) the ~iif theologian who made the first attempt to

proof of Islam" .Of him al-~uyCtr said "Could there have been a

prophet after Muhammad, it would surely have been al-GhazzZlT !". 12

For - ~ u f i s , who had suffered execution and exile at the hand of

orthodox Muslims, it was more than fortunate that a theologian with

such widespread acceptance should be fascinated by Sufism. This

fascination, however, cnanged into a real conviction during the

last fifteen years of Ghazz3lT1s life. It was on account of this

that he composed his great work the KymiyZ-yi sa'adat, in which

mysticism was regarded as the path to God. This work, written only

five years before his death, comprises four major sections as

follows: knowing oneself, knowing God, knowing the present life

and knowing the life after death. Subsequently, Sufism has been

widely accepted as a legitimate approach, even by many orthodox

Muslims.

Of the ~TmiyZ-yi sacadat, the Wellcome collection contains a

remarkable manuscript. It is a complete copy, written in calligraphic

~asta'liq and dated A.H. 1103 (A.O. 1691) which contains four

i l luminated chapter-headings. 13

The third work to be mentioned here is the Ashiccat al-lamabat.

This work is a commentary by ~ Z m i (of whom we have spoken)14 on the

Lamacat, a treatise on various manifestations of mystical love by

L IrciqT (Fakhr al-Din l bra him, 610-686/1213-1287) the follower of

Shihab al-D& suhraward7, and a celebrated poet. Thus, in the

AshicCat al-lamacat the words and thoughts of two great mystic

poets can be studied at the same time. '1raqT is known to have been

greatly influenced by an Arab $ffT Ibn al-<~rabT (d.638/1240). Yet

in the LamaLZt, he is clearly under the influence of another Persian

mystic AQmad ~hazzal? (d. 52011 126). brother of Muhammad, discussed

in the present section (pp.42-43 above) . Here 'Ir?iqT seems to follow

Ahmad's style in his treatise on love called the SavZnib. The

Lamacat is a combination of verse and prose, and is divided into

28 sections, each called lamcah. ~ d m i wrote his commentary, the

AshiCCat al-lama'zt, in 886/1481 at the request of a friend whom he

did not clearly name in the text. He commented on all 28 sections

and added an introduction to the work.

The ~Cif: analysis of love, exhibited in the Lama'at and similar

works discussed before (e.g. Yisuf va Zulaykha, p. 37 above) can be

regarded as a study of the emotion of love and its parallels to the

human quest for union with the deity. It could, therefore, be

regarded as touching on the interests of those seeking insight into

human psychology. There is no doubt that the medieval readers of

these Sufi texts valued them greatly, and often provided them with

artistic illustrations and luxurious bindings. The Wellcome copy

of the AshiCCat al-lamacat, for instance, is written in good Nas- -

ta'liq and contains an illuminated chapter-heading.

Before ending the survey of the ~Efrwritings in the collection,

one more text should be mentioned here, the Rashahat-i 'ayn al-hayat

The Wellcome copy of the ~ a s h a b ~ t , ' ~ dated A.H. 946/1539,

seems to be the earliest existing copy of this text (the earliest

copy recorded by Storey being a Panjab University Manuscript dated

A.H. 978/1570-1) .I7 In addition to that, the present Ms. has been

transcribed by a pupil of the author who claims to have copied it

from the original copy (nuskhah-'i asl; presumably the autograph

version). 18

Here we end our survey of the - Sufi texts and leave any prominent

physical feature of these manuscripts to be discussed in the relevant

sections (e.g. illustrations will be dealt with in the section on

illustrated manuscripts, p.61 below).

From the highly spiritual world of Sufism and $ffl works, we now

turn to the more worldly realm of science and briefly survey the

~rominent scientific works in the Wellcome collection.

Scientific works

The scientific section of the Wellcome collection includes a

wide variety of texts mainly concerning astrology, alchemy, natural

sciences and mathematics.

Of astrological works, the hitherto unknown personal horoscope

of Prince Iskandar, grandson of ~ i m u r (d. 807/1404), is the first

manuscript which calls for mention.19 Iskandar was a devoted patron

of painting and book production.During his rule in Shiraz (812-171

1409-14) the local school of painting flourished and for him many

fine manuscripts, including the present horoscope, were produced

(the artistic significance of this work will be discussed in detail

in a subsequent section) .20 Painting and book production, however,

were not Iskandar's only interests. Like his father 'Umar Shaykh

(d. 812/1409), and many other rulers of his day, he was fascinated

by astronomy and astrology. It is therefore not surprising that his

personal horoscope was ~ticulously written, and lavishly illuminated

at the beginning of the second year of his rule (22nd Z: al-Hijjah

813lApril 18, 1411). This manuscript throws considerable light on

the development of Islamic astrology prior to Ulugh Beg's observations

in ~amar~and.~' Furthermore, it enables us to fix with certainty

the long-disputed date of Iskandar's birth (Dushanbah 3rd ~ab? I,

786lMonday Apri 1 25, 1384). The text contains detailed mathematical

calculations as well as their astrological interpretati~n.~~ This,

often involves quotations from various astrologers such as Ptolemy

and AbT Macshar of Balkh (Jacfar b. Mubarnmad, d. 2731886). The compiler

C - of the horoscope is Mahmfid b. ~ a h y a b. al-Hasan al- as hi, called Imad

al-Munajjim. He is most probably the grandfather of GhiyTz al-Din

Jamshrd b. MasCcd b. Mahmid al-Kashi (d. 83211428), the celebrated

astrologer of Ulugh Beg's court in Samarqand. 23

The manuscript itself, in 86 folios, is written in calligraphic

Naskh by al-~ashr's own hand and is dated A.H. 813lEA.D. 14111.

Here, mention should be made of Ulugh Beg's own astronomical

tables the zij-i jadid-i ~ult'Sn7 or zrj-i Ulugh Beg. This work

was composed after 84111437 24 with the collaboration of three

prominent astronomers, namely, Qazi'zddah-'i ~iim? (d. after 830/1427),

'~17 Qishjr (d. 879114744) and Ghiyaz a l - ~ r n Jamshid (of whom we spoke

in this section). The Zrj-1 deals with calendars, astromomy

and astrology in four maqalahs. This text is represented in the

Wellcome collection by a manuscript of unusually small format (94x

641nm).~~ Though part of the manuscript is estimated to belong to the

10th century A.H. (16th century A.D.) the rest has been added in the

late 12th century A.H. (18th century A.D.). 2 6

In addition to the horoscope of Iskandar and the astronomical

tables of his cousin Ulugh Beg, the Wellcome Library owns a copy

of the commentary on the latter, the Sharb-i ~rj-i adi id-i ~ u l t ~ n ~ ~ ~

by Birjand? ('Abd al-'~li b. Mubarnmad, d. 934/1527-8). This com-

mentary which contains the full text , minus the tables, was composed

in 929/1523.~' The Wellcome manuscript of this work, though in-

complete, is neatly transcribed. It is estimated to belong to the

11th century A.H. (17th century A.D.).

Turning from astronomy and astrology to cosmology and natural

C .-,, sciences, mention should be made here of the Aja ib al-makhluqat

va ghara'ib al-mawjudiit - "Wonders of creation". This is a well-known

cosmographical work by al-~azwini (Lakariy~' b. Muhammad b. MahmGd,

d. 682/1283). It is divided into four muqaddimahs and two maqalahs

concerning the heavenly spheres, stars, the elements, minerals,

plants and animals. It was originally written in Arabic and trans-

lated into Persian many times. The oldest existing copy of the

Persian translation, preserved in the Bankipur collection (no.634,

11,~' is dated A.H. 84011436. The Wellcome library owns ten manus-

cripts of this work3' one of which in particular calls for mention

here. This is a calligraphic, though incomplete, copy dated A.H.

86311458.~' It is the oldest copy in Europe and the second oldest

in the world.

In comparison to other scientific subjects, mathematics is less

prominently represented in the collection. This is due to the

medical nature of the library. Of the Wellcome mathematical manu-

scripts, the Zubdat al-l;lisZb should be mentioned.32 This is a work , - ,

on arithmetic in 5 - babs by Muhammad Salih ibn ljabib Allah al-TabZtaoa 1

al-~azdi. The Wellcome copy of this text is a complete manuscript

dated A.H. 129511878.~~

Among other mathematical works, the library has a copy of the

Persian translation of the Lilavatr by the celebrated mathematician

of Deccan, Bhaskara Acirya .34 This classic Sanskrit work on

arithmetic was translated into Persian by the poet ~ay&T (d. 10041

1595) at the request of the Mughal Akbar I (963-101411555-1605). 35

An English translation of the text was published in Bombay in1816.

The Wellcome manuscript of the Lylavati, which is estimated to belong

to the 12th century A.H. (18th century A.D.), is a complete copy

written in clear ~asta~liq hand. 36

As for alchemy, the collection covers a wide variety of texts

written on the subject. Our knowledge concerning the authors and

origins of alchemical texts, however, is limited in comparison to

other branches of science. Alchemy was a holy and secret knowledge

not to be made available to the public. Most alchemists did not

disclose their names in their works. Statements such as " to be

kept in safe place" or " to be taught only to trustworthy students"

are frequently found on the opening folios of alchemical manu-

scripts. As a result, most works of alchemy are attributed to

legendary characters or well-known people, who in the eyes of the

public, were fit to be the author. Jabir ibn l;layy~n,37 a pupil of

JaCfar al-$diq (d. 148/765), and Man~fir al-@kim bi-Amr Allah

the sixth Fitimid Caliph (386-411/996-1020),38 for instance, are

the alleged authors of numerous works on alchemy. In fact, the

Wellcome collection owns a copy of the Tubfat a l - ~ h d h ~ y a h , ~ ~ a

Persian translation of the Arabic Risalat tacwydh al-ljikim bi-Allah

attributed to ~ a n ~ i i r . ~ ~ The anonymous translator states, in the

preface, that Mansfir composed this work for his son Abu al-Husayn.

The Wellcome manuscript of this text is a complete but undated copy.

The estimated date is the 13th century A.H. (19th cent. A.D.).

collection, there is a copy of the Tajarib-i ~ h a h r i ~ a r ~ . ~ ' This is

In addition to these, there are many other alchemical texts by

anonymous or little-known authors. These works are in both verse

and prose, and a feature common to almost all of them is providing

recipes for gold and silver. An attempt will be made in the present

catalogue to describe the contents of these texts in greater detail

so as to compensate for the lack of bibliographical information in

the field.

Medical manuscripts

A study of the content of the Wellcome medical collection, the

largest of its kind in any of the Western countries, would hardly

fit in this short introductory note. The variety of the subjects of

the manuscripts, even within the field of Persian medicine, is such

that a small selection of texts fails to represent the whole collec-

tion. The medical section, however, is the focal point of the present

work. An attempt will, therefore, be made to demonstrate the signifi-

cance of the content and the size of the medical library in the

catalogue itself by (a) the application of a subject classification,

with small break-downs within the medical sub-sections to display

the variety of the topics, (b) a full description of the contents of

the texts with reference to additions, omissions or other variations

they may exhibit in comparison to other copies described elsewhere.

A few general characteristics of the medical collection , however,

should be discussed here.

The collection covers the period between the fifthleleventh and

the twelfthleighteenth centuries during which time the Persian language

was used for writing on medical subjects.

In respect of the chronological order of the physicians who wrote

in Persian, and who are represented in the collection, lsmi?iCil b. 1 ljusayn al-~urjani (d. 53011 135) is the first to be mentioned here.

al-Jurjini attended the court of the KhvZrazmlShZh (Qutb al-DT~

1 While lsmaCil ibn tjusayn seems-to be widely accepted, Storey (v.11, p. 207) refers to him as Ismacil b. tjasan without citing any particular manuscript.

Muhammad ~nushtakin, d. 521/1127) in the year 50411 110.~ He there

compiled for this ruler his comprehensive work (in ten volumes),

the lakhirah- i K h v ~ r a z m l S n ~ h ~ , which includes all branches of medical

knowledge of the time.3 The Wellcome collection holds copies of all

volumes of this work.4 al-~urjanT is also the author of many other

medical texts, of which the Wellcome Library owns copies of the -- ,7 5 Khuffi-i 'Ala 1 and al-AghrXz al-tibbyyah vaal-mabzhis alLCAl;i"iyah. 6

The former, which is an abridgement of the voluminous ~akhirah-'i

son and successor 'Ala' al-Dawlah Atsiz (d. 551/1156). The KhuffT-i

A as stated in its preface, and as the title implies, was

written in two volumes of oblong shape, which could be conveniently

carried by the owner in his boots.' The Wellcome copy of this text,

54 Introduction; The Wellcome Library and its Persian collection

The Wellcome manuscript of the Aghraz al-tibb, is a complete copy

dated A.H. 12061 [A.D. 17911.

The second prominent physician who calls for mention is Zayn

al- in '~17 b. al-ljusayn al-~nsar-7, known as ~zji Zayn al-'Att;ir(d. . a

806/1403-4).~~ He was a descendant of KhvZjah 'Abd AllZh ~nsZr-7

the theologian and Sufi of ~erat," and worked for sixteen years as the private physician of Sh3h Shuj;ia the Muzaffarid ruler (765-861

1364-84). va j? Zayn al-'Attar . . is best known for his two pharmaco-

-c- 12 poeias the Miftdb al-khazz'in and the Ikhtiyarat-i Badi 1. The

Mift?ih al-khazZ3in,which deals with simple and compound medicines

(in three maq%lahs), was composed in 76711366. The only complete

manuscript of this text is an autograph copy preserved in the

Bodleian c o ~ l e c t i o n . ~ ~ The Wellcome copy of the Miftah al-khazZ3in

contains the second maqalah of the text on substitutes and antidotes

for medicines.14 It is a calligraphic copy dated A.H. 1063(?)11652(?).

The author's second pharmacopoeia the Ikhtiyarzt-i ~ a d S ~ 7 was

composed in 77011368-9. It was dedicated to a princess (malikah)

ad^ al-Jam21 of whom little is known.15 The text (in two maqzlahs)

concerns the properties of simple and compound medicaments. The

We1 lcome library contains fourteen copies of this text. l6 al-~nszr?

is also known for his physician son Yusayn al-AnsZrY, who wrote a - -

supplement to the 1khtiy;i;rZt-i BadiLi called - Sibah or Ishat.- al-adviyah.

In this work, the author explains the names of the drugs mentioned

in the Ikhtiyarat-i ~ a d i ~ 7 . l ~ (In 1978, with the publication of the

catalogue of the Persian medical manuscripts at the University of

California, Los Angeles, a more major work of Husayn al-Ansary,

called Dastiir al-A$ibbZ3 'an qav;icid al-bukam;i',came to light which

deals with anatomy, therapy and drugs. ) . 18

Next in the chronological order of the eminent physicians, who are

represented in the We1 lcome collection, is the Persian anatomist

MansGr b. Muhammad ibn Ahmad (8114th century).'' Mansiir is the author

of the Kifayah-'i ~ujahidTyah, the medical compendium dedicated to

Mujahid al-DTn Zayn al-eibidin b. Shah Shuja' (786-8911384-87). The

Wellcome library holds eighteen copies of this text.20 The author's

well-known anatomical work the ~ashrih-i ~ a n ~ u r ? is also represented

in the collection by five manuscripts. 21

Here, we should speak of a poet-physician who wrote metrical

works on medicine. Yisuf b. Muhammad b. Yusuf of ~hurasan better-

known as YisufT, who lived in the 10/16th century. ~rsufi is said

to have completed three dTvans "collections" of ghazals "odes". 22

He is definitely the author of fifteen medical works, six of which

are either fully versified or are a combination of verse and prose.

These treatises cover a wide variety of subjects ranging from

pathology and pharmacology to the properties of foods. Y~Tsuf? was con-

temporary with the Mughal emperors Babur (900-937/1494-1530) and

Humayun (937-6311530-55). It is not yet known whether he is identical

with Rieu's "/jakTm Yusuf?, Munshi of HumZyunU and the author of the

literary work the Bad~'i~al-insh~'.~~ He did, however, dedicate some

of his works to the above mentioned emperors. In the Wellcome

collection, the majority of Yfsufr's works are represented, each

by several copies. - -

Mention should by made here of Rustam Jurjani,a court physician

to Khdn Ahmad ~Tlani,who later attended the court of the Ni?Zm1Sh';ih

(presumably ~urhan I, 914-961/1508-1553) in ~ e c c a n . ~ ~ ~urjani has

so far been known for his two works : the AsrZr al-nisT3 on sexual

hygiene, and the Risalah dar bayan-i iymmyX-i murakkabah on fevers.

known Lakhirah-'i ~ i ~ ~ m ~ ~ h 3 h i . ~ ~ This work,which is a materia medica

of simple and compound medicines, according to its preface (f.2a)

was completed in Daulatabad in 95411547. It was completed at the

request of the above mentioned Ni<amlSh;ih. The bulk of the text is

a translation of an abridged version of a work by Ibn al-Baytar 26

whictl :urjani does not name (presumably the al-Mughn? fi al-adwiyah

27 al-mufradah or the al-:;mic li-mufradat al-adwiyah wa-al-aghdhiyah).

~urjan?, however, made additions to the text where compound medicines

were concerned.

The last physician, whose notice will end our brief chronological

survey, is Muhammad Akbar ArzZnr (d. 1134/1722).~~ We have spoken of

Arzini in the section devoted to $if? authors (p.41 above) with

reference to his materia medica,the Qariib~din-i 2 . He is also

the author of seven other medical works six of which he himself has

listed in the introduction to the ~ar;ib?id?n.~~ Arzani lived in India

and in 1115/1703 travelled to Shiraz to complete his medical studies. 30

In addition to his own medical compositions, he translated into

Persian the Arabic work on the causes and symptoms of illnesses, the

- 7 31 Sharb al-asbzb ~ a - a l - ~ a l a m ~ t of ~ a f i s b. <Iwarj al-Kirman~. This

amplified translation, which is called Tibb-i ~ k b a r T , is represented

in the Wellcome collection by nine manuscripts.32 ~ r z T n T also wrote a

commentary on the Qinunchah of Mahmcd chaghmin? (d. 74511344-5). Of

this commentary, which is known as the Mufarrih al-qulub, six copies

are preserved in the Wellcome c ~ l l e c t i o n . ~ ~ The works of ~ r z z n i

mainly include the study of the causes and symptoms of diseases and

the properties of simple and compound medicines, particularly those

of India.

Divisions of medicine

In respect of the range of the subjects covered by the collection,

four topics, the major divisions of medical instruction of the time,

should be discussed here. These four divisions already mentioned (p.

31 aaove), were surgery and blood-letting (jarrzhi va fa~d), the causes

and symptoms of diseases (asbzb va alZmZt), properties of foods and

medicines (qarabadinzt), and the medical application of charms and

amulets (tilism va taCviz).

On surgery and blood-letting most of the comprehensive medical

works, such as the ZakhTrah-'i ~hvarazrn'~h2hi of al-~urjani (p.28

above), contain several sections. These sections were often extracted

from the text by later physicians who then gathered them in one

volume to produce an independent work on the subject. DastGr al-fa~d,

on blood-letting, by Muhammad Beg is an example of that.34 The author

Muhammad Beg, who is otherwise unknown, excerpted this treatise from

the Lakhirah-' i KhvZrazm'Shahi and other sources which he did not

name. Of this work the Wellcome collection holds two manuscripts, both

of which are estimated to belong to the 13th century A . H . (19th century

33 WMS.Per.221, 401, 520-522 and 597(B).

34 Storey, ibid, p.315, no.584(36).


A.D.). 35

As for the study of the causes and symptoms of illnesses, this

division was very strongly emphasized throughout the whole period

(5111th to 12118th centuries). Thus every work concerned with

general medicine tended to include this topic. In addition, of

course, there were highly specialized works devoted to the subject,

of which the Wellcome collection contains a substantial quota. A

good example is the Mufarrib al-quIi3b of Muhammad ~rzTnf (p. 57

above). Causes and symptoms were also discussed in pharmacopoeias.

For example, in this collection, the ~Tmi'al-fav~'id,~~ a pharmaco-

logical compendium in mixed prose and verse, by ~ ~ s u f i discusses, in

addition to a description of medicaments, causes and symptoms of

illnesses. In certain other pharmacopoeias, the properties of the

medicines recommended are listed under the name of each disease.

Other significant pharmacopoeias in the collection include

al-~nsTrT's IkhtiySr3t-i ~adf'T (p. 54 above) and the second section

of Mansijr's -- Kifzyah-'i ~ujahidiyah (p. 55 above).

As far as the present collection is concerned, the medical

application of charms and amulets, to which we have frequently

refered, are not discussed independently of other medical matters.

It thus appears that these amulets were not offered as the sole

remedy for medical disorders. They appear mainly on the margins,

or flyleaves, of medical texts (presumably serving as a reinfoce-

ment for medical methods). The number of texts containing amulets

35 WMS.Per.200(B) and 307. 36 This text is represented in the collectionby thirty manuscripts

see: p. 115 below.


added in this way in the Wellcome collection exceeds one hundred.

These diagrams could be of the greatest value to archeologists

concerned to elucidate actual amulets recovered in the field. They

include magic squares, Qur'Znic incantations and zodiacal figures.

To assess the value of the content of the Wellcome medical library,

one more topic remains. In addition to Persian medicine, the collec-

tion provides material for a study of Indian medicine, as under-

stood and practised by Persian physicians residing in India. This

is, largely, due to the fact that a major section of the collec-

tion was purchased in India. It contains both translations of Indian

medical texts, as well as works compiled in Persian with the use

of Indian sources. Two good examples of this are the MufradZt-i

~ i n d i , ~ ~ the compendium of Indian simple medicines by Sharaf al- in

b. ~ 2 ~ 7 Shams a l - ~ ~ n , ~ ~ and the ~ i r a n al-tibb,39 a medical textbook

by Muhammad ArzZni. The former was published in 1884 in Lahore, and

the latter in 1849 in Bombay. The rest of the translations included

in the collection are mainly from Arabic. There seems to be no

direct translation from the Greek, though there are frequent alleged

quotations of Galen in several of the texts.

38 Storey, ib id, p.326, no.584(144). The author's name is missing in the Wellcome copy.


The illustrated manuscripts in the Wellcome collection

The illustrations of the Wellcome Persian manuscripts are of

two different natures: on the one hand, illustrations which serve

purely decorative purposes, and on the other, drawings which convey

scientific and technical meaning. The former category in most cases

has an aesthetic value which in the latter may be overshadowed by

the technical purpose of the drawing. The difference between these

two types of illustration, both in their appearance and function,

is so great that one can not help seeing them as two independent

phenomena. We shall therefore discuss these illustrations under

the two separate headings "The artistic illustrations" and " The

technical drawings".

The artistic illustrations

The history of painting in Iran goes back to the centuries before

Islam. The sculpture, silver-work and wal I-paintings of the Parthian

and Sassanian periods provide a basis for study of this art.' The

earliest Persian painter known to us by name is Mani (d. 290 A.D.).

However Mani, a Parthian prince who claimed divine inspiration, was

killed and his famous painting, the ardhang, - considered to be his

miracle, was burnt. It is of some interest to mention here that in

addition to his artistic and religious occupations, for which he is

Pre-Islamic Persian painting, however, is not our concern here.

Even the early Islamic period does not demand our attention since

the Wellcome manuscripts belong to a much later period. Yet it

should be remembered that the developement of the art of painting

in Iran has frequently been interrupted.

The Arab invasion of the country in the seventh century A.D.

replaced the Zoroastrian religion by Islam. Whatever the actual

influence of Islam on Persian artistic circles may have been, there

is little doubt about the strong condemnation by orthodox

Muslims of representing the human figure in painting. The social

and financial support of wealthy patrons with fewer religious con-

victions, however, played an important part in the survival of this

art.

Seven centuries later, the Mongol invasion of Iran dealt another

major blow to every aspect of Persian culture including the art of

painting. While thousands of illustrated manuscripts must have dis-

appeared in the mass destruction of libraries, at the same time the

misery and poverty caused by the invasion put an end to many

artistic movements. 3

In less than two centuries the country suffered another invasion,

this time by the world-conqueror TTmiJr (d. 807/1404). Although

Tim~r's invasion, accompanied by similar destructions, also damaged

libraries and art-centres, with his death a new era began. Of this

era, which witnessed the flourishing of the art of painting in Iran,

we shall speak in greater detail. This emphasis is due not only to

the fact that Wellcome manuscripts date from the Timfirid period,

3 Z. Safa, TZrikh-i adabiytit dar IrSn. Tehran, 1979, v.111, part 1 , pp.77-86.


but also to the existence of the personal horoscope of

Prince Iskandar (TTmOr's grandson)in the collection (p.46 above). 4

Before his death TimCir had divided his empire between his sons

and grandsons. Shiraz, in South-West Iran, was inherited by TTmiir's

C second son Shaykh (d. 81211409). Umar Shaykh's successor was

his son Pir Muhammad who was assassinated shortly after his acces-

sion in 1409. With the assassination of ~ i r Muhammad, his brother

Iskandar Sultan came to power and ruled in Shiraz for 5 years (1409-

1414).~ During his short rule, Iskandar encouraged artists and gave

patronage to the art of book-production. Shiraz, a prosperous city,

which had not suffered seriously from the previous invasions, now

became the host to an assembly of calligraphers, artists and crafts-

men. As a result, dozens of manuscripts were produced, mostly in

small format, but all neatly copied and lavishly decorated in gold

and silver. The creators of these works of art, who marked Iskandar's

reign as the flourishing years of the Shiraz school, later, under

the patronage of Shahrukh (d.850/1446), influenced the School of

Herat.

Iskandar, as we have noted (p.46 above), was fascinated with

astronomy and astrology. It was for him that the above mentioned

horoscope was produced, meticulously written and lavishly decorated. 6

We have already discussed the content of this work with reference

to its scientific and historical significance (p.46 above). The

artistic significance of this manuscript needs to be studied with

equal care and attention, since the quality and the quantity of

the illustrations rank it as an outstanding example of the Shiraz

School.

Measuring 265xI70mm, the manuscript contains 86 folios. The text,

written in a fine and well developed Naskh, is undoubtedly the work

of an accomplished calligrapher, according to the colophon the author

7 himself (min ~amalihi wa-tabririhi. ..). The same line indicates

that the author also executed the illustrations of the manuscript.

(The term usually refers to manual work and in metal and wood-

work it is frequently used to denote decoration or illustration.

Furthermore, there are examples of the use of the term - =amal,

though not as often as naqsh and raqam, with reference to painting). 8 -

The fact that the author illustrated the manuscript himself adds

to the scientific importance of the work and will be discussed in

the section devoted to the technical drawings.

The most remarkable illustration of the manuscript appears on

folios 18b and 19a. This double-page painting depicts the position

of the heavens at the moment of Iskandar's birth. The planets are

personified as they usually are in Islamic astrological texts. 9

Mars in theeleventhhouse, for instance, appears as a warrior with

a sword in one hand and a severed head in the other, and Venus in

the third house, as a young woman playing the lute. The faces, head-

gear, clothing and other objects in the scene, though minute, are

shown in great detail. The crimson-red and golden colour of clothes

are mostly outlined in black ink against the background of a rich

blue sky. The sky itself is here and there filled with unrealistic-

ally elongated golden clouds which are typical of landscape painting

of this period. The zodiacal signs in their houses, as finely drawn,

help the reader to visualize the position of each planet in relation

to the twelve signs. On the four outer corners appear four angels

carrying presents including a golden crown. Two verses of a poem,

written on the two outer margins, wish the newly-born baby luck and

happiness.

After the double-page painting, the three illuminated chapter-

headings with three different designs and colouring call for

wntion. Though different in details, these three headings have

the general form of a rectangle filled with minute patterns of

individually symmetrical form (circles, triangles etc. ) . The patterns

are mostly outlined in black ink and filled with green, dark blue,

crimson-red and gold. The fineness and symmetrical form of these

patterns and the use of gold against the blue and crimson backgrounds

are again typical of the Shiraz School. On the central medallion of

each chapter-heading appears an invocation written in highly

decorative fashion . The first and the most common of all is bi-smillah al-rahmZn al-rahim "in the name of Allah the compassionate the

merciful" on the chapter-heading of the opening folio. The style of

writing is ruqaC and the words are written in gold against a blue

66 Introduction: The Wellcome Library and its Perrian colleclion

background. The invocation on the second heading (f.20b) reads

tawakkaltu 'a13 al-uayy alladhi la yanam "I have put my trust in

(God) the living one, who sleepeth not". This heading differs

from the first in the sense that it is written in Naskh style and

is of larger size. The background is white, here and there decorated

with gold. The third invocation, appearing on the last chapter-

heading (f.68b), reads Allahu rabb al-tawfiq "Allah is the Lord

of success". It is similar to the one on the opening folio in size

and style of writing. The background colour of the central medallion

is this time crimson-red.

Two other major illustrations in the manuscript are two full-

page figures of a dragon on f.la and a phoenix on f.86b. Both

drawings are examples of the influence of Chinese on Persian painting.

The extremely fine outline of each drawing is done in black ink and

filled with faint grayish blue, pink, and shades of gold. The four

outer corners of each illustration are decorated with slightly

smaller drawings of plants and birds executed in the same style.

The final category of illustration is the minute marginal draw-

ings on the outer borders of each page. The marginal drawings show

birds, animals and plants, a total of 499 different miniature compo-

sitions.

Though this manuscript and many others were produced in Shiraz,

this city was not the only art-centre during the ~imiirid period.

Tabriz and Herat also remained major centres of painting and book-

production under the descendants of ~ h ~ r who, in spite of fighting

against each other as well as the outside enemies, continued to rule

in Iran throughout the fifteenth century.

Introduction: The Wellcome Library und its Persian collection 67

With the rise of ShJh lsmJcil the Safavid (d. 93011523) in the

early sixteenth century, and his invasion of Merv and Herat, came

the downfall of the ~Tm~rids. This was the beginning of another

era, in which the country was ruled by a powerful central govern-

ment. We shall not here discuss this period at length owing to the

fact that the Wellcome collection does not hold any remarkable

Safavid illustrated manuscript. But it should be briefly mentioned

that under the Safavids a shift of interest from the east of Persia

to the west took place. Tabriz and later Qazvin became the capital

of the new dynasty and therefore many artists of the eastern cities

such as Herat migrated to these centres." Under Safavid rule the

art of painting and book-production continued to flourish and even

inspired the so-called Indo-Persian or Mughal painting in India.

Indeed with the latter we are greatly concerned here as a large

number of the Wellcome illustrated manuscripts were purchased in

India.

Mughal painting, which is now treated as an independent style

rather than a mere offshoot of Persian art, came to being with the

migration of Persian artists to India in the sixteenth century A.D.

The migration itself started at the time of the second Mughal emperor

HumZy6n (937-63/1530-55). This ruler, who had taken refuge in the

court of Shah Tahmzsp the Safavid (930-8411524-76), was there

introduced to the flourishing Safavid art and took an interest in

it. In 1555, when he went back to India, he took with him two of

Shah Tahmasp's grpat srtists, Mlr Sayyid ‘Air and 'Abd al-Samad.

After HumZyGn's untimely death, his son and successor Akbar (963-10141

1556-1605) came to power. Among many other interests Akbar was

fascinated by art. The result was the establishment of an atelier

under the joint direction of ~ i r Sayyid 'Ali and 'Abd al-Samad in

which over fifty pupils were being trained.'' This was the beginning

of a tradition. The movement of artists between Iran and India

inaugurated a tradition which combined two cultures and produced

many works of art. As Robinson has pointed out "the mixture of Islamic

Persia and Hindu India had proved explosivew.'* Akbar's successor

Jahangir (1014-3711605-27) and after him Shah'JahZn (1037-68/1628-

57) were both devoted patrons. The art of painting and book-

production, therefore, continued to flourish. Biographies, histories,

collections of Persian poetry and texts concerning natural sciences--

particularly works on birds and animals-- were specially produced

and lavishly decorated. A good example of the last category is the

FarastnZmah-'i ind dl "The Indian book of the horse" of which six copies

exist in the Wellcorne c o l l e c t i ~ n . ~ ~ This was a text translated from

Sanskrit into Persian by 'Abd Alldh Kh3n Bahxdur FTrGzljang, the

veterinary surgeon to Shah'JahZn. It concerns the various breeds of

horses, their marks of distinction, and the illnesses to which they

are susceptible. One of the copies of this work held in the Wellcome

collection (written in calligraphic Indian ~ a s t a ~ l i q ) is illustrated

Another copy, with fewer illustrations, contains the autograph and

seal of the translator on folio la.I5 In addition to the FaraslnZmah,

the collection holds several other manuscripts illustrated in the

Mughal style including copies of the '~jz'ib al-makhlEq3t va

ghara'ib al-mawjiidzt of al-~azwyni and the GulistZn of sacdi. A

physical description of these manuscripts will be found in the

relevant entry of the catalogue. A list of the illustrated rnanu-

scripts is given below (pp.71-72).

The technical drawings

For texts of a highly technical nature, including those related

to science and medicine, illustration is almost always indispensible,

and many Persian manuscripts in the Wellcome collection fall within

this category. Illustrations of this type, which we shall designate

as "technical drawing", vary greatly in technical competence and

artistic accompl ishment. Some are of high aesthetic merit and others

are of a comparatively crude nature. But even relatively crude

drawings were valuable and effective in so far as they illustrated

technical procedures otherwise difficult to grasp. In a study of

such drawings greater emphasis should be placed on their accuracy

and coherence with the text.

With regard to technical competence, naturally the most reliable

of all are the illustrations done by the author of the text. A good

example of this is Prince Iskandar's horoscope which was illustrated


by the author Mahmud al-KZshT (p.47 above).16 It may have been

partly for the fear of a possible inaccuracy in the drawings that

al- as hi undertook the task himself. Indeed, the meticulous presenta-

tion of the technical details in the text indicate that he treated

the work not only as an exotic gift to the Prince but also as a

scientific achievement.

For all the potential advantages, however, the scientists often

did not illustrate their work themselves. Scholarly preoccupations

and lack of artistic skill may have been among the major reasons.

Also, celebrated texts were constantly reproduced without the super-

vision of the author and in some cases for many centuries after his

death. As a result, many scientific and technical texts available to

us today have been illustrated by professional artists who were not

necessarily experts on the subject-matter of the work.

Methods of reproduction

To produce a technical drawing a non-scientist illustrator could

use two methods:

a) to draw on the basis of as much information as could be gained

from the text. While this method was practicable for drawing animals,.

birds, plants and even star-maps with reasonable accuracy it certain-

ly did not suit more complicated subjects such as anatomy and mathe-

matics.

b) to reproduce the drawings of an earlier copy. This method may be

regarded as the most common, for many drawings, such as those of

Mansfir's anatomical work TashrTQ-i ~ansfiri, often appear with complete


uniformity in design and similarity in details. It is for the same

reason that a later copy of a scientific work may contain drawings

of an earlier style.

It may be suggested here that the technical drawings in Persian

manuscripts should be studied and evaluated independently from the

text, for they may be of a different standard.

Title: Riyaz-i bihisht

Author: anon.

Content: a comprehensive work on preventive medicine and health care. Divided into four major sections each called chaman &. The Ms. begins with the second chaman (divided into nine gulbuns) - on anatomy of the eye, ear, nose,mouth, stomach, heart, liver,

spleen and sexual organs. For each organ, instructions for preserva-

tion of the health are given. The third chaman (divided into five qitcahs) provides general preventive measures suitable for people

of various ages. The fourth chaman (dividd into eight nakhlahs) deals with different temperaments and suitable treatments for each. The similarity of the titles and the subject suggest that the

Riyaz-i CA~amgiri of Muhammad RizZ Shiraz? (no.128 below) might have

served as a model in the production of the present work.

Content: a comprehensive medical compendium divided into nine books to which a tenth book (on simple and compound medicines) was later added. Even though often viewed as a Persian adaptation

of Avicennals al-QinUn fi al-tibb (n0.40 above), the lakhirah-'i

of the medical literature of the time (for quotations from

prominent physicians in the work see: Richter-Bernburg, p.3).The

Zakhirah-'i KhvZrazmr~hah? is unanimously accepted as the first

major medical text written in Persian language.

Content: a very comprehensive work on various aspects of medicine. Begins with bZb four on the organs and continues with the third - maqalah on health preservation, causes symptoms and remedies for

local and general diseases. Here the heading "the third maqZlahU

(maqalah-'i siyyum) is used for the second time to cover the section

on fevers. The other sections (often incomplete) which follow are:

maqalah-'i chahzrum on external diseases of the body, maq?iIah-'i

panjum on remedies for the poison of various animals, fann-duvvum on properties of foods and medicines, again maqalah-'i chaharum on

symptoms, fag1-i siyyum on pulse, fasl-i panjum on urine, fagl-i

haftum on crisis, food, sleep. -.

It would be logical to assume that the present work is a selection

from various texts. These texts, however, are difficult to identify

because of the large lacunae throughout the Ms., and the lack of a preface. The similarity between the fann-i duvvum in this work and the - fann-i duvvum in the KifZyah-'i Mujahidiyah of MansCjr ( no.29 above) is worth noting here.

Author: [Sharaf al- in Hasan ? ]

The author's name does not appear in copies A and B below. In the

B.L.manuscript (Rieu, 11, p.474a), the work is attributed to 'ImZd al-DT~ Mahmiid the well known author of severai medical works. It is,

presumably, on the authorityof this manuscript that Storey includes

the YanbGC in the list of '1m~d al-Dh MahrnUdls compositions [Storey, 11,

Bernburg, pp.60-61, no.44) the work is clearly ascribed to Sharaf

al-Din Hasan. Furthermore, Richter-Bernburg (ibid) suggests a date of

composition before 900/1494 for the work and rules out the authorship

ofCIm.3d al-Din Mahmiid on historical grounds and on the internal

evidence of the text [e.g. the absence of a mention of syphilis of

which CIm2d al-Din Mahmtd was well aware. Here, Richter-Bernburg is

referring to the RisZlah-'i 3tashak by the author for which see:

Storey, ibid, p.242, no.411(4)1.

Content: a manual of medicine devoted mainly to the treatment of local diseases.

The entries are arranged under the names of medicines which do not

always follow an alphabetical order [e.g. in the section on simple ,'

medicines, S&;~+(f.llb) comes before (f.30b)l. This lack of a strict alphabetical order, makes an assessment of the missing sections difficult.

Title: QarXbZdin-i QZdirT J,> L d + \ j .. Composed between 1126/1714 and 113011718 according to most existing

copies (e.g. ~ t h 6 , I, co1.1279, no.2344). In the Wellcome Ms. (copy

A below, f.3a), this date is given as 110611694 which is likely to be

a mistake by the copyist.[In the preface to this work, Muhammad ~ r z Z n i gives a list of six of his previous medical compositions (see Richter-

Bernburg, p.150). The Qarabadln-Qddiri, therefore could not have been

composed as early as 11061.

The title of this work is an allusion to Sayyid 'Abd al-Qzdir

al-JilXni, the founder of the QZdiriyah order of the Sdfrs, of

which the author was a member (for al-JilZni see: Storey, I, 2, p.

933, no.2).

/ - /' Title: KitZb-i viladat-i Iskandar ,&\L,Y?- ~1 The personal horoscope of Iskandar b. cUmar'Shaykh b. TimGr who

ruled in Shiraz from 812/1409 to 817/1414. The horoscope was

prepared in the second year of Iskandar's rule (813/1411, WMS.Per.

474 blow, f.68b) from observations previously made at the time of

Iskandar's birth, Dushanbah 3rd ~abi' I, 786/Monday Apri 1 25, 1384

(ibid, f.2a). This date is established for the first time by the

present Ms. and enables us to fix with certainty the long-disputed

date of Iskandar's birth.

Author: Mallmud b. Yaby3 b. al-Hasan al-~~sh; called (al-mulaqqab bih) 'ImZd al-Munajjim $1, by A I ~ ~ W \ de - (see the explicit below). Judging from the identity of personal

names and nisbahs, and the tendency of specialized skills to be

cultivated within families, the author is probably the grandfather of GhiyZs al- in Jamshid b. MasCGd b. Mahmtid al-KZshi (d.832/1428)

The celebrated mathematician and astrologer of Ulugh Beg's court in Samarqand (see Encyclopaedia of Islam, 2nd ed., under "al-KZshT").

Content: the text opens with the normal invocation shukr va

sipas Qamd-i bi-qiyzs SZnic-i Parvardgar.. .rZ (see the incipit

below). The preface contains a reference to Iskandar with his

full title on f .2a as JalZl al-Haqq wa-al-Saltanah wa-al-Duny3 wa-al- in Amir'zadah Iskandar. The same folio contains the date of Iskandar's birth as mentioned above. The place of birth is given as Uzgand, in the fifth clime (az buqiic-i iql?m-i panjum kih Zn Uzgand ast.. . f .2a: the present day Uzgen in Soviet Kirghizia).

Science Astronomy and Astrology

The text comprises three main sections:

The first section contains a description of the mathematical

calculations for the horoscope. These include calculating the

estimated Ascendant at the time of birth, estimating the moment of

conception and calculating the longitudes and the latitudes of the

planets. The distance of the planets from the equator and the

position of the - siham or Lots are also calculated (for the

beginning of this section see the incipit below). At the end of

this section appears a most remarkable double-page painting which

has been described in the introduction to the present catalogue (pp.64-65 above), see P1.IV. on the following page.

On folio 20b begins the second major section of the work: f / .

This section concerns the interpretation of the astronomical findings. Here, al-KZshi describes the findings related to each of the twelve astronomical houses, predicting for Iskandar good health, a long

life and victory in wars. However he maintains that the prince has

some hostile relations envious of his position. In general, he retains a favourable tone throughout his predictions. This section

ends with a number of astrological tables The third section of the text begins On f.65b: : b ~ ~ u 5 : ? ~ 2 ~ u y ~ ~ + J I Y , & ~ & ~ + ~ ~ \ ~ > G > : ~ ~ ~ ~ dL5\+\ ;\4\5L - . . GIO+,-I>, &pi2 ,+ >\y,C2. LLL., ~ 1 3 !b7b>~5>

. . . ,, L c\L-cu,b =-,?\> - In this section the astrologer predicts the important events of Iskandar's life from the age of 28 to 40 on a yearly basis. (The

reader is reminded that at the time of the compilation of the

horoscope Iskandar was 27 years old). The text begins with a

brief section covering all the twelve years. Then follows a more detailed account devoting a separate passage to each year. Here

happy and prosperous days are predicted until the year 34. At the end of this year, however, hostile and fearful events are to be

expected.

Finally the text finishes with a colophon in ornate Arabic (see

Content: parts from a comprehensive text on astrology. Giving an

accuratp description of the text is impossible due to sixty-four

lacunae in the present copy (WMS.Per.341 below).

From the existing parts, it can be established that the work comprises

one muqaddimah and four maqalahs. The muqaddimah is on the definition,

purpose, and scope of astrology and is subdivided into four parts

each called -- tanbTh. The first maqalah deals with the seven planets,

the second concerns the constellations, and the third is devoted to

the geographical divisions ofthe earth. The fourth maqalah is on

the astrological significance of the conjuction of the stars as well as the phenomenon of burning stars.
