| Content |
al-Anṭākī’s system of medicine divided into an introduction (muqaddimah) four chapters (bāb) and a closing word (khātimah). The first chapter deals with medicine in general, the second one with the preperation of medicaments, the third chapter describes the simple and compound medicaments arranged alphabetically and the fourth one diseases also arranged in alphabetical order.
Al-Anṭākī did not finish the fourth chapter which was supplemented by one of his pupils under the title Dhayl Tadhkirat ūlī al-albāb wa-al-jāmiʽ lil-ʽajab al-ujāb (see Rieu. British Muesum, Suppl. ).
