Maimonides, On Asthma: A Parallel Arabic-English Text, edited, translated, and annotated by Gerrit Bos, Provo (Utah), Brigham Young University Press (Graeco-Arabic Sciences and Philosophy: Complete Medical Works of Moses Maimonides, 1), 2002, l + 165 [=264] pp.
- Resum
- Moshe ben Maimon, or Moses Maimonides (1135-1204), remains one of the most celebrated rabbis in this history of Judaism; his numerous writings include philosophical and medical treatises in Arabic, two of history's most important works on Jewish law, and, most notably, efforts to reconcile Aristotelian philosophy with biblical teaching. The "Complete Medical Works," edited by Gerrit Bos of the Martin-Buber-Institut fur Judaistik at the University of Cologne, collects the entirety of Maimonides's medical writings. Notwithstanding its title, "On Asthma" is in fact a complete regimen of health, designed for the needs of a high-ranking patient whose identity is not stated. In true Galenic fashion, Maimonides stresses that a healthy lifestyle and diet are the most important preventative measures against chronic illness such as asthma. Good and bad foods are described in detail, and many recipes for beneficial dishes and drugs are included, with Maimonides adapting Galenic regimens to the needs of his Muslim patient.
