On Editing Medical Fragments from the Cairo Geniza
A reliable edition of medical fragments in Hebrew and/or Arabic script from the Cairo Geniza, especially those dealing with pharmacology, can only be accomplished if the editors are trained in medieval Judeo-Arabic, Arabic philology, and paleography and have a thorough knowledge of all the secondary sources and studies. Allowing too many faulty readings otherwise, editions of these fragments cannot be considered credible
An Epitome of Galen's on the Elements Ascribed to Ḥunayn Ibn Isḥāq
Galen's On the Elements according to Hippocrates is an important source for physical doctrines circulating in late antiquity. The variety of atomistic doctrines that Galen brings into the discussion, as well as his arguments aimed at refuting them, were closely studied by the early kalām atomists. Of particular interest are the summaries of this text, which seem to have been written many centuries after Galen; some of them are products of early I…

The Black Death in Hebrew Literature: Abraham Ben Solomon Hen's Tractatulus de pestilentia
»Vielmehr bietet [der Kommentar] auf höchstem Niveau eine substantielle Auseinandersetzung mit den Hintergründen, den Zusammenhängen, der Theorie und der Praxis des Grundgesetzes.

The Black Death in Hebrew Literature: Ha-Maamar Be-Qaddaat Ha-Dever (Treatise on Pestilential Fever)
Ha-Maamar be-Qaddaat ha-dever (Treatise on Pestilential Fever), composed by an anonymous author, is one of several treatises devoted to the subject of plague that exist in Hebrew literature. The treatise is basically a concise regimen of health as it was common throughout the Middle Ages that has been adapted to the special case of the plague and that has been supplemented with a final section of remedies for the time of the plague.

Maimonides on Medicinal Measures and Weights, from his Galenic Epitomes
Some of the personal comments inserted by Maimonides in his epitomes of Galen's Qātāgānas (De compositione medicamentorum per genera) and Mayāmir (De compositione medicamentorum secundum locos) are discussed. The most valuable of these comments, which have neither been edited nor studied to date, is undoubtedly a lengthy and detailed discussion of medicinal weights and measures employed in Galen and subsequent medical literature. The text of this…

A Pseudo-Galenic Treatise on Regimen: The Hebrew and Latin Translations from Hunayn Ibn Ish?q's Arabic Version
Sefer ha-Hanhagah is a fragmentary text that contains only the introduction to an originally larger work on the different kinds of food, their properties, names, and suitability for different human bodies. This larger work survives only in a Latin translation by Accursius de Pistoia (fl. 1200), entitled De dissolutione continua. Sefer ha-Hanhagah lacks unity and covers a wide variety of subjects, including: the necessity of consuming food; the su…
The Literature of Hebrew Medical Synonyms: Romance and Latin Terms and their Identification
This paper surveys several medico-botanical synonym lists that have not been described adequately in the bibliographical literature so far. We pay special attention to their vernacular component, addressing the problem of identifying the languages involved, which—aside from Latin—are different varieties of Romance. In much of the existing literature and many catalogues, the specific Romance language is usually either not identified or misidentifi…

Balādhur(Marking-nut): A Popular Medieval Drug for Strengthening memory
According to the medieval medical concept, ultimately going back to Galen, memory is a psychical faculty located in the posterior ventricle of the brain. When this faculty is affected by a disturbance of the balance of the four bodily humours, i.e., by too much moisture and/or coldness of the brain, forgetfulness will be the result. One way to treat this affliction is to restore the humoral balance by administering warm drugs. A popular but also …

Maimonides on the Preservation of Health
It is well-known that Maimonides (1135–1204), one of the greatest philosophers and experts in Jewish law ( Halakhah ), was an eminent physician as well. He probably studied medicine during his sojourn in Fez (Morocco) between 1158 and 1165, after he and his family had fled from his native city Cordoba, because of the persecutions by the fanatical Muslim regime of the Almohades
