- Resum
- Ibn Ǧanāḥ's book on the nomenclature of medicinal drugs (Kitāb al-Talḫīṣ). In the early 5th (A.H.)/11th (A.D.) century, the eminent Jewish scholar and philologist Abū l-Walīd Marwān ibn Ǧanāḥ (Rabbi Jonah) wrote in Zaragoza a glossary with the title Kitāb at-Talḫīṣ, listing in almost 1100 entries the Arabic and foreign-language names of simple drugs, weights and measures, and other medical terms. Until recently, that glossary was considered lost. Even the discovery of a manuscript of the original text by Sezgin was ignored by most scholars, although the importance of this glossary for the subsequent synonym literature of the Arabs has become more and more clear since the studies realized by Max Meyerhof. Today, it is possible to prove that most of the ensuing compilations of the Arabs on synonyms for the simple drugs are directly or indirectly reliant on the Talḫīṣ. The current state of research leads us to assume, among others, that many Old Ibero-Romance plant names, found in the Arabic literature, have first been recorded by Ibn Ǧanāḥ. The Talḫīṣ is also significant from a cultural point of view as it shows how deeply the Jews living in al-Andalus were rooted in the Arabic culture. The primary goal of the book is to edit this fundamental work, extant in the manuscript Ayasofya 3603, Istanbul, thus making it available to the scientific public for the first time. This goal also encompasses an English translation of the work. The edition and translation is accompanied by an extensive commentary, whose purpose is, firstly, to outline both the sources and the scholarly reception of the Talḫīṣ. Secondly, the commentary envisages identifying the names of the simple drugs contained in this work, with a special focus on the Ibero-Romance names of plants.
