==== Body
This is the second chart (the muscles) of the set of four “Anatomy Charts” found in a 264-folio illustrated medical manuscript [N° “500–510/... Ah/1110/n14” in The Sami I Haddad Memorial Library, Rancho Palos Verdes Branch, and N° “90” in the Catalogue of the Arabic medical manuscripts in the Library of Dr Sami Ibrahim Haddad, Farid Haddad and HH Biesterfeld (Aleppo 1984)]. Parts of the manuscript text were in Arabic and other sections in Persian. The scribe was either faJraldÿn mahAbAdÿ or muHammad Cÿrÿn; both are unknown physicians mentioned in the text. The copy was made in Putna, Behar, India sometime between 944 and 1110 AH. It has no title, but I gave it the following one “majmw’a Tibbiÿÿe” because it is a series of extracts from previously written recognizable Arabic medical books.
