Khal, Oliver, "Two antidotes from the ‘empiricals' of Ibn at-Tilmīḏ,", Journal of Semitic Studies, 55/2 (2010), 479-496.
- Resum
- This article deals with two antidotes which form part of an hitherto unpublished treatise on ‘eempirical drugs' (muǧarrabāt), composed around the middle of the twelfth century ce by the master physician Ibn at-Tilmīḏ: the so-called fārūq theriac and the viper pastilles. These two antidotes, which ultimately depend on Greek prototypes, circulated in different Arabic versions and belonged to the stock of medieval Islamic pharmacy. They are edited and translated here on the basis of Ibn at-Tilmīḏ's ‘eempirical' recension, which is also distinguished by the fact that the fārūq theriac shows traces of an earlier revision made in the ninth century ce by the famous Ḥunain ibn Isḥāq; moreover, the prescription of the viper pastilles is based on early, precanonical antecedents. The article concludes with a glossary of terms and a botanical register.
