Rasa'il Ikhwān al-Ṣafā' ("The Treatises
of the Brethren of Purity")
Fifty-two or so Arabic most likely Isma'ili related

"The Encyclopedia is divided into
fifty-two epistles (rasa'il) of varying lengths, which make up four books.
Each book develops different topics: Book 1:
the mathematical sciences (14 rasa'il) include theory of number, geometry,
astronomy, geography, music, theoretical and practical arts, ethics and
logic. Book 2: the natural sciences (17
rasa'il) comprehend matter, form, motion, time, space, sky and universe,
generation and corruption, meteorology, minerals, plants, animals, human
body, perception, embryology, man as microcosm, development of souls in the
body, limit of knowledge, death, pleasure, and language.
Book 3: the psychological and rational
sciences (10 rasa'il) comprehend intellectual principles (Pythagoras and
Ikhwan), universe as macrocosm, intelligence and intelligible, periods and
era, passion, resurrection, species of movement, cause and effect,
definitions and descriptions. Book 4:
the theological sciences (11 rasa'il) include doctrines and religions, way
to God, doctrine of Ikhwan, essence of faith, divine law and prophethood,
appeal to God, hierarchy, spiritual beings, politics, magic and talisman."
