Biographical notes

Ḥubaysh al-Tiflīsī was court physician, head astronomer (munajjim), and religious scholar at the Anatolian Seljuk court during much of the reign of Kılıç Arslan II, Sultan of the Seljuks, -1192. Before migrating to Anatolia sometime around or before 544 AH [1150 CE], al-Tiflisī left his native land of Tiflis for Baghdad, perhaps following the Georgian reconquest of his hometown in 1121 [1121 CE], and settled in Baghdad. He completed his first work, Qānūn-i Adab, in Anatolia in 544 AH [1150 CE]. In 1186 [1186 CE] he was dismissed from the Seljuk court as the result of an erroneous prediction forecasting a great flood. He authored around two dozen works in Arabic and Persian. While many of his works deal with medicine and materia medica, he wrote on a variety of topics, including Qurʾanic exegesis, lexicography, dream interpretation, astrology and meterology with apocalyptic themes. Iranian scholars point out that that his Persian works are composed in the Shirvani dialect. There has been confusion regarding the exact rendering of his name due to variations found in the manuscripts of his extant works. Although Kātib Çelebī gives his death date as 629 AH [1232 CE] and Carl Brockelmann as 600 AH [1203 CE], the former date seems implausible, and the latter remains unsubstantiated.

Title

Taqwīm al-Adwiyat al-Mufrada

Notes

This work, dedicated to Saʿd al-Dīn Sharaf al-Islām Sayyid al-Kuttāb Abū’l-Mahāsin Asʿād b. Ḥusayn al-Kātib, is an alphabetically organized encyclopaedia in the form of synoptic tables of materia medica and medicaments, with names in Arabic, Persian, Greek, Latin and Syriac. The work consists of two books, with book one covering some 730 commonly used medicaments and foodstuffs discussed in tables of 13 columns, and book two further treating 880 less commonly used and scarce medicaments and foodstuffs, with suggestions of substitutions from substances provided in the first book. Among the sources mentioned by the author are Dioscorides and the Sixteen Books of Galen, also known as the Alexandrian Summaries or Jawāmiʿ al-Iskandarāniyyīn, a set of texts used for medical education, as well as Galen’s work of ten chapters on simples, Kitāb al-Adwiyyat al-mufrada Kitāb al-Adwiyat al-Mufrada. Likewise mention is made of work by Ḥunayn b. Ishāq (possibly his commentary or translation of Dioscorides), al-Rāzī’s Kitāb al-Ḥāwī, Ibn Abdān al-Akhwāzī’s Kitāb al-Adwiyat al-Mufrada; ʿAlī b. ʿAbbās al-Majūsī’s Kāmil al-Ṣināʿa, Abū Sahl al-Masīhī’s Kitāb al-Miʾa, Ibn Buṭlān (probably his Daʿwat al-Aṭibbāʾ), Ibn Sīnā’s Qānūn, and Ibn Jazla (probably his Takqwīm al-Abdan).
