Langermann, Y. Tzvi, "Three judeo-arabic marginalia on new materia medica from the New World and China", Aleph, 19/1 (2019), 137-156.
- Resum
- A manuscript recently acquired by the Universityof Pennsylvania contains a large section of a treatise on materia medica, Arabic in Hebrew characters, with many notes in themargins. One set of marginalia, all in the same hand, displayspassages culled from the writings of Daʾūd al-Anṭākī (d. 1599) andIbn Sallūm (d. 1670), two important medical writers who wereborn in Aleppo. Some of the passages are translations from Turkishinto Judeo-Arabic. The three selected for publication here describenew medical substances, unknown to the ancients; one, China root,originating in the East; and the other two, sassafras and quinaquina,from the Americas. These are among the first descriptions of thesesubstances in Arabic and seem to be the very first accounts in Jewish sources.
