The manuscript Vat. ebr. 358 contains the Arabic text written in Hebrew script of paragraphs VI-X of the first part of the medical encyclopedia Kitāb kāmil al-ṣinā ͑a al-ṭibbiyya (‘The perfect book of the medical art’). The work was composed before 367/977-978 by ͑Alī ibn al- ͑Abbās al-Majūsī (d. 384/994 [?]). This article claims the place of production of the manuscript to be Trapani (Ṭrābaniš) in Sicily. The city is explicitly mentioned in the colophon that was copied on Adar 26, 5053 (March 13, 1293). This article expands our knowledge of the circulation of Arab medical science among Sicilian Jews (13-15th c.).
