The following extract is translated from an Arabic MS. in the Bodleian Library at Oxford_, {Marsh, 248.) written on oriental paper in the neschi character, and in general very legible and correct. It agrees for the most part with the Latin Translation: in those passages where it differs, as the Translator has not had an opportunity of consulting the MSS. at Madrid or Dresden, he has endeavoured to give the best sense in his power by following either the MS. or the Translation, whichever appeared to be the more correct. * Further information respecting the MSS., translations, editions, &c. of this trea¬ tise may be found in Haller's Biblioth.
