Early and a rare posthumous manuscript copy of this 18th-century Islamic majmua, containing the treatment methods and drug compositions against physical and spiritual diseases, with material and magical suggestions, copied 32 years after the author's death by a "Hafiz" with an addendum of new drugs and treatments compiled from older annotations of this work. "In the first part of the work on spiritual medicine, verses, prayers, talismans, and magic formulas in the Islamic culture like "wafqs" that are believed to be treated; in the second part, on physical medicine, drug formulas from various material objects for physiological diseases are shown."
