Exceedingly clean and sharp; DJ with just a bit of rubbing to the tips. 'Recently a great deal of attention has been directed at the Siwan al-Hikmah of Abü Salaimãn as-Sijistani as-Sijazi by some of our most outstanding Orientalists. This growing interest has focused on its importance for the history of Arabic philosophy especially in connection with the Greeks and has been manifested in a corresponding curiousity as to what its contents may be. Franz Ro-senthal has spoken of its crucial importance for Graeco-Arabic studies. Jörg Kraemer who demonstrated in a brilliant fashion that the Homeric citations in the Siwan al-Hikmah were in fact the vapar attributed to Menander has described the text in equally strong terms. However in spite of the fact that a number of good manuscripts of abridged or selected versions exist Muntakhab no complete copy of the original Siwan al-Hikmah is as yet known. The Muntakhab SiwÄn al-Hikmah dates from approximately A. D. 1200 whereas the original is of nearly the same date as the Fihrist of Ibn an-Nadim written in about 377/987 - or perhaps even earlier. While scholars wait for the complete original text to be recovered and made available it has seemed appropriate to the editor that a text of the Muntakhab together with some explication to assist in its understanding be supplied; the present volume is intended to provide immediate access to this critical text.'

2011508901Ashgate 2011. Hardcover. FINE. 615pp. Perfectbound in printed hard covers sans DJ as issued. FINE copy entirely clean and sharp. 'This volume presents the first edition of the Arabic translation by Hunayn ibn Ishaq of Galen's Critical Days De diebus decretoriis together with the first translation of the text into a modern language. The substantial introduction contextualizes the treatise within the Greek and Arabic traditions. Galen's Critical Days was a founding text of astrological medicine. In febrile illnesses the critical days are the days on which an especially severe pattern of symptoms a crisis was likely to occur. The crisis was thought to expel the disease-producing substances from the body. If its precise timing were known the physician could prepare the patient so that the crisis would be most beneficial. After identifying the critical days based on empirical data and showing how to use them in therapy Galen explains the critical days via the moon's influence. In the historical introduction Glen Cooper discusses the translation of the Critical Days in Arabic and adumbrates its possible significance in the intellectual debates and political rivalries among the 9th-century Baghdad elite. It is argued that Galen originally composed the Critical Days both to confound the Skeptics of his own day and to refute a purely mathematical rationalist approach to science. These features made the text useful in the rivalries between Baghdad scholars. Al-Kindi d.c. 866 famously propounded a mathematical approach to science akin to the latter. The scholar-bureaucrat responsible for funding this translation Muhammad ibn Musa d. 873 al-Kindi's nemesis may have found the treatise useful in refuting that approach. The commentary and notes to the facing page translation address issues of translation as well as important concepts.'. Ashgate hardcover
