Written in both Persian and Arabic, in the Nasta'liq script, the book has a chapter on each of these sections, as well as an introduction and an appendix on the formation of the foetus and organs. The manuscript has one hundred folios containing numerous illustrations and is 12 inches by 7 ¼ inches in size.
