Treatise on medicine in two parts (see description of contents in the preamble of the text, fol. 3a-4b), also known as "Kifāyah-i Manṣūrī". The text is dedicated to Sulṭān Mujāhid al-Dīn Zayn al-ʻĀbidīn, i.e. Zayn al-ʻĀbidīn al-Muẓẓafarī, ruler of Fars, 786-789/1384-1387, according to the Mashhad catalogue. Rieu suggests that the dedicatee is rather Zayn al-ʻĀbidīn of Kashmīr, 823-875/1420-1470. There is no evidence however that the laqab of the latter is Mujāhid al-Dīn (Storey, C. Persian Literature).
Collection
Part of
Manuscripts of the Islamic World
Manuscripts of the Islamic World offers a curated selection of extraordinary manuscripts hosted or held by Princeton University Library. The manuscripts are predominantly in Arabic, but there are also many in Persian and Ottoman Turkish. The manuscript digitizations here are a fraction of the full Manuscripts of the Islamic World collections, housed in Special Collections in Princeton's Firestone Library. Efforts are ongoing to make the manuscripts of these collections more accessible through conservation, catalog record updates, and digitization.
