Research Project

Al-Ghāfiqī’s manuscript is of significant historical importance. Its value is underscored by its capacity to provide meticulous descriptions and comparisons of plants within a geographical context, shedding light on their effects as influenced by their respective places of cultivation. This manuscript serves as an invaluable resource, offering comprehensive insights into the geographical distribution, regional variations, and visual depictions. The wealth of information encapsulated within this manuscript renders it an exceptionally rich and pivotal contribution to the field, especially that medieval medicinal science is understudied and the recent Brill edition shows a scholarly interest in the genre.

Al-Ghāfiqī’s intent in writing this manuscript is clear. He wanted to collect the knowledge found in the works of earlier luminaries. This research aims to provide a rigorous historical analysis. The plants mentioned with be methodically scrutinized, with regard to the plant descriptions, illustrations, and uses. Furthermore, the study delves into phytogeography to discern the global distribution of these plants and ascertain whether their cultivation persists in these regions to date.

The research will compare between the two copies of the manuscript. The first one in the Museum of Islamic Art and the second copy in Montreal. A first inspection showed some differences in the number of illustrations between both manuscript copies.

Currently a survey is being conducted to ascertain whether there are other versions or copies of this manuscript.
