A Literary History of Medicine: The <i>ʿUyūn al-anbāʾ fī ṭabaqāt al-aṭibbāʾ</i> of Ibn Abī Uṣaybiʿah. Volume 1: Essays
Editat de Emilie Savage-Smith, Simon Swain, Geert Jan van Gelderen Limba Engleză Paperback – 3 apr 2024
A Literary History of Medicine by the Syrian physician Ibn Abī Uṣaybiʿah (d. 1270) is the earliest comprehensive history of medicine. It contains biographies of over 432 physicians, ranging from the ancient Greeks to the author’s contemporaries, describing their training and practice, often as court physicians, and listing their medical works; all this interlaced with poems and anecdotes. These volumes present the first complete and annotated translation along with a new edition of the Arabic text showing the stages in which the author composed the work. Introductory essays provide important background. The reader will find on these pages an Islamic society that worked closely with Christians and Jews, deeply committed to advancing knowledge and applying it to health and wellbeing.

Recenzii
"This edition will hopefully become the standard basis for research on the ʿUyūn, especially in the Arab world. The fact that it is published open access may assist in this. The same can be said for the translation, which finally makes Ibn Abī Uṣaybiʿah’s text available in full to historians of medicine as well as other scholars who do not have access to the Arabic text. [...] All in all, the edition is a great contribution to scholarship, to be received with gratitude by a wide range of scholars." Remke Kruk, in Bulletin of the School and Oriental and African Studies 84/1 (2021)
"Cette publication qui est amenée à devenir la nouvelle édition et traduction de référence des ʿUyūn al-anbāʾ fī ṭabaqāt al-aṭibbāʾ d’Ibn Abī Uṣaybiʿa, témoigne de l’importance du travail collectif pour renouveler l’approche de sources connues depuis longtemps mais dont il reste encore beaucoup à apprendre. Le principal apport de cette équipe a été de reprendre l’étude de la tradition manuscrite et d’obtenir des résultats nouveaux et utiles à l’histoire du livre médiéval." Audrey Caire, in Codicologie
