See full description on web site. The volume bears an illuminated dedication to the Ottoman Süleyman the Magnificent. It also bears the sultan’s monogram (tughra), once on the first page in blue outlined in gold, and once on the last, where it is in gold outlined in blue. Süleyman is not known to have resorted to prophetic medicine and had both Muslim and Jewish physicians at his court, but the duplication of his monogram, rather than his seal, indicates how highly he prized the manuscript.
