Editor:
On Phlebotomy invites you into the world of medieval medicine through the practice of phlebotomy. This bilingual edition presents MaqÄla fÄ« l-Faá¹£d and its medieval Hebrew translation, Maʾamar baHaqqaza, attributed to the Persian physician AbÅ« Bakr Muḥammad ibn ZakariyyÄʾ al-RÄzÄ« (d. 925). Divided into two parts, the volume provides a critical edition, English translation, and commentary for both works. It explores the art of phlebotomy together with broader aspects of care: diet, aftercare, and complementary treatments. Bridging disciplines and languages, this edition offers an accessible resource for historians of medicine, philologists, and curious readers alike.
Juhan Björn, Ph.D. (1989), is a scholar of Semitic languages affiliated with Lund University. His research focuses on editing and translating medieval manuscripts, with particular focus on medical literature in Arabic and Hebrew.
