In the present book, Oliver Kahl offers, for the first time, a complete, annotated English translation of Ibn Juljulâs ṬabaqÄt al-aá¹ibbÄʾ wa-l-ḥukamÄʾ, one of the earliest Arabic texts of its kind. Ibn Juljulâs work, completed in the year 987 CE in Córdoba, is essentially a collection of biographical essays on ancient and medieval physicians, scientists and philosophers, interspersed with numerous anecdotes and containing a highly instructive, relatively long section on âAndalusian sagesâ. The work represents a most crucial source for our understanding of the evolution and the development of medicine and philosophy in Muslim Spain, drawing also on a number of otherwise unattested Latin-into-Arabic translations, and abounding moreover in burlesque literary embellishments.
Oliver Kahl, Ph.D. (1993), University of Manchester, is Research Fellow in the Department of Semitic Studies at Marburg University, Germany. He has published several books and numerous articles on the history of medieval Arabic medicine and science.
