- Resum
- Juan Carlos Villaverde Amieva concentrates in his paper on the Andalusi Romance terms found in the book by the physician ʿIzz al-Dīn Abū Isḥāq b. Muḥammad b. Ṭarkhān al-Suwaydī (or Ibn al-Suwaydī) (d. 690 H/1291 CE), Kitāb al-Simāt fī asmāʾ al-nabāt, a repertory of names of simple medicines that is known for its linguistic richness. Arabic and its numerous dialectal variants is the language best represented in it, together with other languages from the Middle East (Nabataean, Coptic) and other geographical regions (Nubia, Armenia, the land of the Turks, Greek...), as well as Berber. Al-Suwaydī's references to al-Andalus exceed by far his references to any of the other regions, including the author's native Syria. These are references to different plants or medicinal substances found in the Iberian Peninsula and to these substances' Andalusi names and synonyms. The information provided reflects an Arabic/Romance duality in al-Andalus that, however, does not necessarily reflect a persistent bilingualism in al-Suwaydī's times. In fact, together with the Arabic terms used specifically by Andalusi botanists, some of which belong to the Andalusi dialect, there are also references to their synonyms in Romance, generally referred to as laṭīniyya (‘Latin'), but also as ʿajamiyyat al-Andalus. Al-Suwaydī's source is the famed Andalusi botanist Ibn al-Bayṭār (d. 646 H/ 1248 CE), and his book is another piece of evidence to add to our knowledge of the extraordinary textual dissemination of Ibn al-Bayṭār's pharmacological work. There are many copies of his Kitāb al-Mughnī fī al-adwiya al-mufrada and even more of his Kitāb al-Jāmiʿ li-mufradāt al-adwiya wa-l-aghdhiya. These books must have already become widely distributed during their author's lifetime, especially in Damascus where Ibn al-Bayṭār settled and died, and where al-Suwaydī may have studied with him.
