| Summary |
The 'Sefer Almansur' is a Hebrew pharmacopeia containing about 250 medicinal ingredients, which are arranged in an Arabic?Romance (Old Occitan)?Hebrew glossary. The materia medica, which describes the properties and therapeutical uses of simple drugs, was translated from Arabic (Kitab al-Man??r?, written by al-R?z?) into Hebrew by Shem Tov ben Isaac of Tortosa, who worked in Marseille in the 13th century.00Gerrit Bos, Guido Mensching and Julia Zwink supply a critical edition of the Hebrew text, an English translation and an analysis of the Romance and Latin terminology in Hebrew transcription. The authors show the pharmaceutical terminological innovation of Hebrew and of the vernacular, and give us proof of the important role of medieval Jews in preserving and transferring medical knowledge. |
