| ABOUT MANUSCRIPT : | Siraj al-Tibb is a comprehensive medical treatise that was compiled during the reign of Nasirud Doula (1794-1857), the fourth Nizam of Hyderabad, and provides an extensive account of purgatives—their components, properties, and applications across a wide spectrum of diseases. It also covers treatments for a variety of ailments from head to foot. The author of this work, Ḥakīm Ashraf Ali bin Rajab Ali, hailed from Azeemabad (Patna). The circumstances behind the creation of Siraj al-Tibb are quite intriguing, as detailed by the author in the foreword. | ||
