Collection of seven medical works, mostly treatises but also including a qaṣīdah describing medical treatments (Work 2) and a work presented as a historical account concerning medical treatments (Work 3).

All works collated except the third.

Notes

• First work written in orange, red, and blue ink as well as black; significant words and phrases in red in the rest of the manuscript.
