Maimonides, Medical Aphorisms, Hebrew Translation by R. Zeraḥyah ben Isaac ben Sheʾaltiel Ḥen
Series: - The Medical Works of Moses Maimonides, Volume: 16
Author:
The original Arabic text of Maimonidesâ major medical work, Medical Aphorisms, was critically edited and translated into English by Gerrit Bos in the years 2004-2017, and published in earlier volumes of the book series The Medical Works of Moses Maimonides. The present work is the first critical edition of the medieval Hebrew translation by R. Zeraḥyah ben Isaac ben Sheʾaltiel Ḥen. Zeraḥyah, active as a translator in Rome from 1277 to 1291, was not only known for his translations of Maimonidesâ medical works, but also for his translations of medical works by Galen and Ibn SÄ«nÄ, and for his philosophical works by Aristotle and Averroes. Zeraḥyahâs unique Hebrew translation adheres closely to Maimonidesâ Arabic text and contains many Italian and Latin loanwords.
Gerrit Bos (Ph.D. 1989) is Professor Emeritus of Jewish Studies at the University of Cologne, Germany. He has widely published in the fields of Jewish studies, Islamic studies, and medieval science and medicine in Arabic and Hebrew texts.
