- Resum
- For historians concerned with Arab physicians and the place occupied by them in Muslim society, the ancient biographical dictionaries are sources of great interest. Abundantly present in the early classical Arabic literature, these dictionaries devote biographical and bibliographical notes to the most famous scholars of their time, a sort of Who's Who of those days. The first dictionaries, which deal with transmitters and specialists in religious traditions, were prepared for the purpose of religious studies. Most of the books have to do with the political and religious environment of a region or town; in his excellent thesis on the Nishapur patricians Richard Bulliet shows how such works may contribute to social history.1 A few of the dictionaries deal exclusively with scientific spheres; such is the case with the one written by Ibn al-Qifṭī, the bibliophile discussed in the following pages.
