Based on a short pseudo-Galenic treatise, whose Greek original is lost, ʿUbaidallāh’s Arabic commentary is a comprehensive and in many ways unique piece of scientific writing that moreover promotes a psychological understanding of physical illness. Oliver Kahl’s present book offers a critical Arabic edition with annotated English translation of ʿUbaidallāh’s work on apparent death, framed by a detailed introductory study and extensive glossaries covering all relevant terms; for comparative purposes, the Arabic and Hebrew recensions of the lost Greek prototype are presented in an appendix.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"K. hat mit seiner philologisch soliden Edition, die durch ausführliche Indizes bereichert ist, ein frühes und wertvolles Zeugnis der gräko-arabischen Komponente der arabisch-islamischen Kultur zugänglich gemacht...Darüber hinaus enthält der Kommentar des ʿUbaidallāh eine Fülle interessanter Einzelheiten zu Zeitgenossen und weitere persönliche Reminiszenzen, auch zur eigenen ärztlichen Praxis.\" Gotthard Strohmaier, in Orientalistische Literaturzeitung 114\/4–5 (2019): 351–381\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePreface Acknowledgements   Introduction  1 ʿUbaidallāh Ibn Buḫtīšūʿ  2 The Book on Apparent Death  Plates   Text and Translation   Bibliography Indices   Introduction to the Indices Index of Medicine and Pharmacy Index of People and Places Index of Work Titles Index of Miscellaneous Terms Index of Botanical Names   Appendix: The Pseudo-Galenic Treatise  1 The Arabic Recension  2 The Hebrew Recension (by Gerrit Bos)","brand":"Brill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53210754089303,"sku":"9789004371286","price":129.6,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/ubaidallah-ibn-buhtisu-on-apparent-death-the-kitab-tahrim-dafn-al-ahya-arabic-edition-and-english-translation-with-a-hebrew-supplement-by-gerrit-bos-9789004371286","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
