Fine copy of al-Jaghmīnī's (d.1344) Qānūnchah, a compendium on medicine and an extract from Ibn Sīnā’s Qānūn. Brockelmann treats this author as distinct from an astronomer of the same name who died in 1221.

Apparently inspired by the popular Tuhfe-yi Vehbî (used for many years in Ottoman schools) of Sünbülzâde Vehbi Mehmet Efendi (d.1809), see opening matter on p.5-15.
