Notes
A treatise of Medicine that is a review of the Tasīl (تسهیل) by Hacı Paşa, -1423? . See a later copy of this work in Catalogue des manuscrits turcs. .
The work is divided in three parts. The first two deal with the nature of medicine and the last one with the properties of food and drugs. While the first two parts are very similar to the Tasīl (تسهیل) , the third is more detailed than the corresponding part in that work and might come from a different book, possibly from another work written in Tukish and translated into Arabic by Hacı Paşa, -1423? entitled Shifā al-āsifām wa dawāʻ al-ālām (شفا الاسفام و دواء الالام ), which apparently was composed in 782 AH [1380-1381 CE] and dedicated by Hacı Paşa to Prince Āidīn, a general that declared himself independent from the Mongols after the collapst pf the Seljuq Dynasty of Rūm.
