General notes

Description
Ababinah calls this author "Aḥmad," but both known manuscripts of this text (including the manuscript directly referenced in the source) call him "ʻAbd Allāh ibn Aḥmad." The same issue appears on the catalog entry for the older manuscript [Maktabah Dār al-Kutub al-Ẓāhirīyah, 3157 Ṭibb 32], where it clearly gives his name as ʻAbd Allāh ibn Aḥmad in the incipit but then lists the author as Aḥmad, without noting or referencing the discrepancy. This is possibly an error in the catalog entry that was replicated in the reference source, but we believe that the manuscript witnesses preserve the correct name of the author.
