upennmanuscripts:LJS 459 - Sirr al-asrār. = سر الاسرارHere we have an early copy of the long form of this popular treatise presented as a letter from Aristotle to Alexander the Great on statecraft, astronomy, astrology, magic, and medicine. The ending of the manuscript is missing; the text breaks off during a discussion of magical alphabets. It was possibly written in Mosul, Iraq, between 1193 and 1211 CE.
