He emphasized: "In the last four years, many activities have been carried out to achieve a rare manuscript, and in addition to Tehran, we have also sent our experts to the cities, during which unique copies have been purchased." For example, a book on pharmacology was purchased from a family in Tabriz.
Ali Ojabi explained: This five-volume book belongs to an Andalusian physician and pharmacist named Ibn Samjoon. A well-known expert in Turkey stated that four volumes of this book have been identified in different parts of the world and he has not been able to find the first volume of this book. But fortunately, in the General Directorate of Manuscripts and Rare Books of the National Library of Iran, we were able to find and buy the first volume of this book, which is for the sixth lunar century, entitled "Spicy Spice".
At the end of his speech on the content of this book, the Director General of Manuscripts and Rare Books of the National Documents and Library Organization of Iran said: He was taking.
