Manuscript
The manuscript holds exceptional historical and scientific significance. It bears ownership inscriptions belonging to Ali al-Nuri and Muhammad al-Laqqani, and its transcription dates back to 987 AH. This makes it a living testament to the circulation and reliability of medical knowledge over more than four and a half centuries, reflecting its enduring status among scholars and physicians.
Sotheby’s Auction House in London presented an auction which included four Egyptian manuscripts.
The manuscript last appeared in the archives of the Egyptian Book House during the end of the 19th century, specifically in 1892.
The Oriental Institute of University of Chicago will host an exhibition about Ancient Egypt’s Book of the Dead from October 3, 2017 to March 31, 2018.
