Kitāb Kāmil al-ṣināʻah al-ṭibbīyah (folios: 301b-70a) (A book by this title is attributed to ʻAlī ibn al-ʻAbbās al-Majūsī (active 10th century-11th century)). 4. Treatment of eye sores (folios: 71b-89a). 5. Treatment of small pox and measels (folios: 91a-124b). 6. Methods for treating each member of the body (folios: 125b-160b). 7. Avoiding epidemic diseases (folios: 161b-169a). 8. Preparing travelers on land and sea and equipping them with the necessary advice, caution and medicine (folios: 169b-172a). 9. Treatment of arthritis, gout, knee and hand pain, hip and spine pain, treating varicose veins, etc. (folios: 175b-188a). 10. The pharmacology of Ibn Māsawayh (Yūḥannā ibn Māsawayh, d. 857 or 858) and the pharmacology of Niqulāwus (Nicolaus Myrepsus, active 13th century) (folios: 189b-222a).
