§ 357. ʿAlī b. ʿĪsā al-Kaḥḥāl (i.e. the Oculist) must have lived in the first half of the 5th century ah (11th century ad) since, according to Ibn Abī Uṣaibiʿah, he was, like Ibn Sīnā, a pupil of Abū ’l-Faraj b. al-Ṭaiyib, Professor in Sulṭān ʿAḍud al-Daulah’s Hospital at Bag̲h̲dād, who died in the twenties of the 5th century or, according to others, in 435/1043. Ibn Abī Usaibiʿah includes him among the ʿIrāqī physicians, and it is probable that he practised in Bag̲h̲dād. According to Assemani he left the Nestorian sect and became a member of the Greek Church. His work on ophthalmology became the standard work on the subject.

Anonymous Persian translation: Iyāb al-s̲h̲aik̲h̲ ilā s̲h̲abāb [sic?]: Tihrān 1304/1887° (72; 96 pp.). Under the title Āb i zindagānī is recorded in the D̲h̲arīʿah (i p. 2 no. 10) a translation (alternatively entitled Iyāb al-s̲h̲aik̲h̲ ilā ṣibāh [so]) of Kamāl-Pās̲h̲ā-zādah’s work made from a printed edition published in the handwriting of Ḍiyāʾ al-Dīn S̲h̲āhs̲h̲āhānī Iṣfahānī ostensibly at Bombay in 1304, but really, to judge from certain indications, in Ṭihrān.

Ṣāniʿ i Ḥakīmī rā kih ba-yad i qudrat u ba-qalam i irādat), on sexual intercourse, dedicated to Mīrān Muḥammad S̲h̲āh [i.e. presumably either Mīrān M. S̲h̲āh i Fārūqī, who ruled K̲h̲āndēs̲h̲ from 926/1520 to 942/1535, or Mīrān M. S̲h̲āh ii, who ruled from 974/1566 to 984/1576] and divided into four fanns and a k̲h̲ātimah: Bānkīpūr xi 980 (66 foll. 18th cent.).

§ 408. Yūsuf “Yūsufī” b. M. b. Yūsuf⁶⁰ K̲h̲urāsānī, physician and poet, was born at K̲h̲wāf (T. i S. p. 160). In the Laṭāʾif-nāmah he is described as mard i k̲h̲wus̲h̲-k̲h̲ulq u jahān-gas̲h̲tah u ṣuḥbat-dīdah and is stated to have completed three dīwāns of g̲h̲azals. That he wrote a metrical work on medicine is mentioned in the Tuḥfah i Sāmī. These two early authorities say nothing about the Badāʾiʿ al-ins̲h̲āʾ, [model letters completed in 940/ 1533–4 for the author’s son Rafīʿ al-Dīn Ḥusain. a.w.], but his Ins̲h̲āʾ and Ṭibb are referred to in the Tad̲h̲kirah i Ḥusainī (ah 1163/1749–50) as well known works. Sujān Rāy in his K̲h̲ulāṣat al-ins̲h̲āʾ (ah 1102–3/1691–2) ascribes the Badāʾiʿ al-ins̲h̲āʾ to “Ḥakīm Yūsufī, Munshī of Humāyūn” (see Rieu ii 475b). Whether Yūsufī was, or was not, Muns̲h̲ī to Humāyūn, he certainly had some connexion not only with Humāyūn but also with Bābur, since he dedicated to the latter his Qaṣīdah dar ¶ ḥifẓ i ṣiḥḥat and to the former his Sittah i ḍarūrīyah (ah 944/ 1539–40) and his Riyāḍ al-adwiyah (ah 946/1539–40. A volume described as Qaṣāʾid i Yūsufī and containing odes in praise of Bābur, Humāyūn and others is preserved at Madrās (no. 77, defective at both ends). Doubtless he is identical with the “Yūsufī” whose second dīwān collected in 926/1520 and entitled Laṭāʾif al-naṣāʾiḥ is described by Sprenger (p. 591 no. 569). (See: Laṭāʾif-nāmah p. 262 (in Majlis ix); Tuḥfah i Sāmī p. 160 (Iqbāl Ḥusain’s ed. p. 156); Tad̲h̲kirah i Ḥusainī p. 374; Mak̲h̲zan al-g̲h̲arāʾib no. 3118; Rieu ii p. 475b.)

Having been sent to Mas̲h̲had by S̲h̲āh Ṭahmāsp he lived there for many years (probably for the rest of his life) and it was there doubtless that Nūr Allāh S̲h̲ūs̲h̲tarī read with him [in, or after, 979/1571–2 (see pl. i § 1574)?] the S̲h̲āfiyah (an abridgment of the Maʿālim al-s̲h̲ifāʾ) of G̲h̲iyāt̲h̲ al-Dīn Manṣūr S̲h̲īrāzī at the beginning of his medical studies (Majālis al-muʾminīn p. 351^11–12). The ascription to him of a work on the China root composed in 954 (or 944 or 934) by an author who had spent nearly twenty years in India is probably incorrect (see above p. 203). (Haft iqlīm i p. 284 (no. 233); ʿĀlam-ārāy i ʿAbbāsī p. 123; Rieu ii 474; Fonahn p. 131.)

Ḥakīm Masīḥ al-Dīn Abū ’l-Fatḥ b. ʿAbd al-Razzāq Gīlānī left Gīlān with his two brothers, Ḥakīm Humām and Nūr al-Dīn “Qarārī”, after the conquest of the country by S̲h̲āh Ṭahmāsp in 974/1566–7 and, having spent some time (muddatī madīd according to Maʾāt̲h̲ir al-umarāʾ iii p. 846⁴) in study at Ardabīl, he migrated to India and reached Akbar’s court in the twentieth year of the reign, ah 983/1575 (Akbar-nāmah iii p. 144¹⁸, Beveridge’s trans. iii p. 204). In the twenty-fourth year, ah 987/1589, he was appointed Ṣadr and Amīn of Bengal (Akbar-nāmah iii p. 266,⁷⁹ Beveridge’s trans. iii p. 386), but he was soon back at court, rising higher and higher in the Emperor’s favour and exercising an influence which ʿAbd al-Bāqī Nihāwandī compares to that of Jaʿfar the Barmecide on Hārūn al-Ras̲h̲īd (Maʾāt̲h̲ir i Raḥīmī iii p. 847²). In the 34th year, ah 997/1589 he accompanied Akbar through Kas̲h̲mīr (Akbar-nāmah iii p. 538¹⁸, Beveridge’s trans. iii p. 819¹⁶) and on the way to Kābul died at or near ¶ Damtaur (D’hamtaur, E. of Abbottabad), and was buried by Akbar’s orders at Ḥasan Abdāl (Akbar-nāmah iii p. 560⁹, Beveridge’s trans. iii p. 851). According to Badāʾūnī (iii p. 167⁹) he was notorious for irreligion and other evil qualities (dar bī-dīnī u sāʾir i ak̲h̲lāq i d̲h̲amīmah ḍarb al-mat̲h̲al būd) and was largely responsible for Akbar’s abandonment of Islām. He was also the author of Muns̲h̲aʾāt i Abū ’l-Fatḥ i Gīlānī, sometimes called C̲h̲ahār bāg̲h̲ from the opening words, letters addressed to Ḥakīm Humām and others. (Haft iqlīm no. 1218; Ṭabaqāt i Akbarī ii p. 482; Badāʾūnī Muntak̲h̲ab al-tawārīk̲h̲ ii p. 211 (translated in Blochmann’s Āʾīn i Akbarī p. 175), iii p. 168; Akbar-nāmah iii p. 144 (Beveridge’s trans. p. 204); Āʾīn i Akbarī tr.

§ 424. [S̲h̲.] Bīnā⁸⁰ b. Ḥasan ḥakīm Ḥasanī was, like his father, S̲h̲. Ḥasan Pānīpatī (as he is called in the Maʾāt̲h̲ir al-umarāʾ iii p. 379⁸) or S̲h̲. Ḥasan Sirhindī (as he is called in ʿAbd al-Qādir’s Muntak̲h̲ab al-tawārīk̲h̲ iii p. 169 ult.), a distinguished doctor of Akbar’s reign. According to ʿAbd al-Qādir he excelled in surgery and in the treatment of elephants. When ʿAbd al-Qādir wrote (in 1004/1595–6) he had become senile (dar-īn aiyām k̲h̲arāfat ba-mizāj i ū rāh yāftah). His son, S̲h̲. Ḥasan, known as Ḥassū and entitled Muqarrab K̲h̲ān, was a grandee of Jahāngīr’s reign (see Maʾāt̲h̲ir al-umarāʾ iii pp. 379–82; Āʾīn i Akbarī tr. Blochmann p. 543).

§ 425. Ḥakīm ʿAin al-Mulk “Dawāʾī” S̲h̲īrāzī, probably the same person as Ḥakīm S̲h̲ams al-Dīn ʿAlī “Dawāʾī” S̲h̲īrāzī of whom there is a notice in the Nafāʾis al-maʾāt̲h̲ir (Sprenger p. 49), was one of Akbar’s physicians. According to Badāʾūnī (iii p. 230) he was on his mother’s side a descendant of Jalāl al-Dīn Dawānī [who died in 908/1502–3: see pl. i § 369a]. It is not clear whether he ¶ was born in Persia or in India. The first mention of him in the Akbar-nāmah (ii p. 202, Beveridge’s trans. ii p. 313) is in connexion with an event at the end of Jumādā i 971/January 1564 in the eighth regnal year, when he treated Akbar for an arrow wound. In the 17th regnal year he was sent by Akbar on a mission to Iʿtimād K̲h̲ān, the great Gujrātī noble, and in 983/1575 to ʿAlī ʿĀdil-S̲h̲āh, of Bījāpūr. Subsequently he was Faujdār of “Sambhal” (Sanbhal), Ṣadr of Bengal and Bak̲h̲s̲h̲ī of the Province of Āgrah. According to Badāʾūnī (ii p. 403) he died on 27 D̲h̲ū ’l-Ḥijjah 1003/2 Sept. 1595 in the fortieth year of Akbar’s reign (cf. Akbar-nāmah iii p. 1031). “K̲h̲wus̲h̲gū” gives the date 1004/1595–6.

He died on 5 Muḥarram 1018⁸² 10 April 1609 (see Memoirs of Jahāngīr tr. Rogers and Beveridge i pp. 154 (Persian ¶ text p. 74⁵), 68, 152; Āʾīn i Akbarī tr.

§ 428. M. Bāqir b. ʿImād al-Dīn Maḥmūd al-Ṭabīb (for whose father see pl. ii § 411) was in the suite of S̲h̲āh ʿAbbās when he left Iṣfahān [in 1011/1602–3 (or rather in 1012/1603?)] to conquer Tabrīz, Nak̲h̲c̲h̲iwān and Erivan. In the course of that campaign the S̲h̲āh suggested the composition of short works on ophthalmic medicine and on the treatment of ulcers for his personal use in case he should be separated from his oculists and surgeons. For his Arabic Risālah fī ’l-mushil see Bānkīpūr Arab. cat. iv 81, Brockelmann Sptbd. ii p. 592.

§ 448. Mīr M. Muʾmin b. M. Zamān Ḥusainī Tunakābunī⁹³ Dailamī says that both his father and his grandfather had been court physicians to the Ṣafawī kings and that he himself had attended S̲h̲āh Sulaimān. “His acquaintance with the medical works and the simples of India shows that he had been living a considerable time in that country” (Rieu). His Tuḥfat al-muʾminīn was designed to correct the inaccuracies of the current pharmacopoeia, the Ik̲h̲tiyārāt i Badīʿī (cf. pl. ii § 380 (2)), and was based largely on what he regarded as the most trustworthy authority on the subject, the work entitled Mā lā yasaʿu ’l-ṭabība jahluhu commonly called the Jāmiʿ i Bag̲h̲dādī (for which see Brockelmann ii 169, Sptbd. ii 219). The theological work Tabṣirat al-muʾminīn completed in 1086/1675 (D̲h̲arīʿah iii p. 325, Mas̲h̲had i, fṣl. 1, mss., no. 62) appears to be another of his works.

§ 465. M. Akbar, commonly called (ʿurf) M. Arzānī, b. Mīr Ḥājjī M. Muqīm [Dihlawī] died at Delhi in Rabīʿ ii ah 1134/Jan.–Feb. 1722 (M. b. Muʿtamad K̲h̲ān’s Tārīk̲h̲ i Muḥammadī cited by Rieu, iii 1088b). According to the Yādgār i Bakādurī (cf. pl. i § 182) as cited by Rieu (ii 479a) he applied for instruction to S. ʿAlawī K̲h̲ān, “who had come to the court of Aurangzīb ah 1115” (cf. pl. ii ¶ § 475, where it has been stated that he presented himself before Aurangzēb at Satārah in 1111/1699–1700), and on his refusal went to study medicine at S̲h̲īrāz. This statement, if correct, must refer to “post-graduat” study, since he had already completed his Ṭibb i Akbarī in 1112/1700–1.
