Trade ReviewWinner of 26th World Award for Book of the Year in Iran 2019. "I want to emphasize the importance of this translation that makes this work available to scholars of medical history who are interested in studying Arabic medicine but regrettably do not read Arabic. This translation will offer them an access to Arabic medicine that played an essential role in the development of medicine from Greek civilization to the early modern period in Europe." - Ayman Yasin Atat, in: Orientalistische Literaturzeitung 114/3 (2019) "With her edition, translation and study of al-Samarqandī’s Kitāb al-Aghdhiya wa’l-ashriba, Juliane Müller has produced a very fine scholarly work which excels at virtually all levels — linguistic, historical, technical and material. Her edition of the Arabic text is meticulous, her German translation ingenious, and her various explorations of sometimes uncharted territories are extremely detailed without ever losing sight of the bigger picture. [...] It is to be hoped that Juliane Müller will continue in the future to gift us with many more contributions of such sublime quality." - Oliver Kahl, in: Journal of Semitic Studies 63/2 (2018) "Muller's edition [...] is a most useful addition to scholarship in this field. A wonderful book, a meticulous piece of scholarship, and a rich source of information on a variety of subjects." - Remke Kruk, in: Bibliotheca Orientalis 75/1-2 (2018)
