Original Recipe Text

The text notes the manuscript was produced for a Syriac-speaking physician (p. 20) and is significant as one of the few illuminated works securely attributable to the region during the transitional period between 1243 and 1277 (p. 9).

Evidence

"This is a 1272-6 copy of Kitāb al-Shifāʾ produced in Maragha and Harput (Elazığ) (Süleymaniye Kütüphanesi, Istanbul, Ayasofya 2442)."

Remarks

Produced in the Ilkhanid sphere of influence stretching between Maragha and Harput. The manuscript is notable for employing Hijri dating despite being produced for a Syriac-speaking individual, a practice typically associated with Iraq and the Jazira in the 13th century (p. 20).
