A Literary History of Medicine by the Syrian physician Ibn AbÄ« Uá¹£aybiÊ¿ah (d. 1270) is the earliest comprehensive history of medicine. It contains biographies of over 432 physicians, ranging from the ancient Greeks to the authorâs contemporaries, describing their training and practice, often as court physicians, and listing their medical works; all this interlaced with poems and anecdotes. These volumes present the first complete and annotated translation along with a new edition of the Arabic text showing the stages in which the author composed the work. Introductory essays provide important background. The reader will find on these pages an Islamic society that worked closely with Christians and Jews, deeply committed to advancing knowledge and applying it to health and wellbeing.

"This edition will hopefully become the standard basis for research on the Ê¿UyÅ«n, especially in the Arab world. The fact that it is published open access may assist in this. The same can be said for the translation, which finally makes Ibn AbÄ« Uá¹£aybiÊ¿ahâs text available in full to historians of medicine as well as other scholars who do not have access to the Arabic text. [...] All in all, the edition is a great contribution to scholarship, to be received with gratitude by a wide range of scholars." Remke Kruk, in Bulletin of the School and Oriental and African Studies 84/1 (2021)
"Cette publication qui est amenée à devenir la nouvelle édition et traduction de référence des Ê¿UyÅ«n al-anbÄʾ fÄ« á¹abaqÄt al-aá¹ibbÄʾ dâIbn AbÄ« Uá¹£aybiÊ¿a, témoigne de lâimportance du travail collectif pour renouveler lâapproche de sources connues depuis longtemps mais dont il reste encore beaucoup à apprendre. Le principal apport de cette équipe a été de reprendre lâétude de la tradition manuscrite et dâobtenir des résultats nouveaux et utiles à lâhistoire du livre médiéval." Audrey Caire, in Codicologie
âUm es gleich vorwegzunehmen: Das hier besprochene Werk ist ein Meilenstein in der Erforschung der Wissenschaften in der vormodernen islamischen Welt. [â¦] Gerade im Bereich der Arabistik besteht ein Defizit an wissenschaftlich fundierten Editionen von literarischen Haupwerken. Keine wissenschaftliche Arbeit zur Wissenschafts- und Medizingeschichte der vormodernen islamischen Welt kommt ohne Zitate aus den Ê¿UyuÌn aus. Alle AngehoÌrigen dieses Faches werden den Herausgebern und Mitarbeitern dieser Ausgabe dankbar sein und ihre Existenz taÌglich zu schaÌtzen wissen. DaruÌber hinaus koÌnnen nun erstmal auch Nichtarabisten von den reichen InformationsschaÌtzen des Werks profitieren. Es waÌre zu hoffen, dass dies zukuÌnftig auch fuÌr die zahlreichen noch nicht in dieser Weise erschlossenen Werke mit Gelehrtenbiographien der Fall sein wird.â
