A Glimpse into Medical Practice among Jews around 1500 Latin-German Pharmaceutical Glossaries in Hebrew Characters extant in Ms Leiden Universiteitsbibliotheek, Cod. Or. 4732/1 (SCAL 15), fols. 1a17b [Hardcover ]

Leiden, Brill, 2021. 172 pp. NEW. Hardcover. Edition of two unique medieval lists of medico-botanical terms in Latin and German, written in Hebrew characters. Jewish physicians probably used these kinds of lists for the acquisition of pharmaceuticals they needed for the preparation of medicines. The edition with a total of 568 entries features transcriptions from the Hebrew, tables and indexes of the analysed terms in a regularized form, and a facsimile of the Leiden manuscript. Many of the German plant names featuing in the edition are not listed in the otherwise monumental reference work Wörterbuch der deutschen Pflanzennamen (Dictionary of German Plant Names) by the German botanist Heinrich Marzell. This testifies to the value of these glossaries for further research. It is also useful to see which Latin forms were in current use at the time of creation of the edition. ISBN: 9789004459137

A Dictionary of Medical Terms in Galen (Studies in Ancient Medicine, Vol 5)

Leiden, Brill, 1993. 344 pp. As new. Hardcover. Galen (2nd century A.D.), after Hippocrates the most distinguished physician of antiquity, has left us numerous medical works to which no complete Greek-English dictionary or concordance was available until now.

It contains approximately 3,000 Greek words and 119,000 citations. Particularly rich is the vocabulary of plant names, which sometimes defy identification. Dealing with terms from the fields of anatomy, physiology, pathology, pharmacy and surgery this book is essential for the study of medical Greek and will be of interest to both historians of ancient medicine and to classical philologists.

Medicine at Monte Cassino: Constantine the African and the Oldest Manuscript of Hisandapos;pantegniandapos. WIth an introduction by Eliza GLaze. (Speculum Sanitatis Vol. 1. Studies in Medieval and Early Modern Medical Culture (500-1800)

Turnhout, Brepols, 2019. XXXVI+255 p., 46 b/w ill. + 16 colour ill., 6 b/w tables. New book, but corners are slightly bumped during transport. Hardback. English. Fleeing his North-African homeland for Italy, Constantine the African joined the abbey of Monte Cassino south of Rome in c. 1077. He then dedicated his life to the translation of at least two dozen medical texts from Arabic into Latin. These great efforts produced the first substantial written body of medical theory and practice in medieval Europe. His most important contribution, an encyclopedia he called the Pantegni (The Complete Art), was translated and adapted from the Complete Book of the Medical Art by the Persian physician 'Ali ibnal-'Abba al-Magui (d. 982). This monograph focuses on the oldest manuscript of the Pantegni, which represents a work-in-progress with numerous unusual features. This study, for the first time, identifies Monte Cassino as the origin of this oldest Pantegni manuscript, and asserts that it was made during Constantine's lifetime. It further demonstrates how a skilled team of scribes and scholars assisted the translator in the complex process of producing this Latin version of the Arabic text. Several members of this production team are identified, both in the Pantegni manuscript and in other copies of Constantine's translations. The book breaks new ground by identifying a range of manuscripts produced at Monte Cassino under Constantine's direct supervision, as evidenced by their material features, script, and contents.

MAIMONIDES - BOS, GERRIT

Maimonides, On the Elucidation of Some Symptoms and the Response to Them (Formerly Known as On the Causes of Symptoms) A New Parallel Arabic-English Edition and Translation, with Critical Editions of the Medieval Hebrew Translations. Series: The Medical Works of Moses Maimonides, Volume: 13. ISBN 9789004398450

Leiden, Brill, 2019. X, 197 pp. As new. Hardcover. Critical edition with masterly English translation by Gerrit Bos. The present consilium, commonly known as De causis accidentium, after the Latin translation by John de Capua, was, like the earlier consilium On the Regimen of Health, composed by Maimonides at the request of al-Malik al-Afdal Nur al-Din Ali, Saladin’s eldest son. As a result of not adopting the lifestyle and dietary recommendations in On the Regimen of Health, al-Afdal may have continued to suffer from a number of afflictions, amongst them hemorrhoids, depression, constipation, and, possibly, a heart condition. The consilium was written after 1200, the year in which al-Afdal was deposed and banished from Egypt permanently, but probably not long before 1204, the year in which Maimonides died.
