Marwān ibn Janāḥ: on the nomenclature of medicinal drugs (Kitāb al-talkhīṣ) : edition, translation and commentary, with special reference to the Ibero-Romance terminology /
:
In early eleventh century Zaragoza, the eminent Jewish scholar Abū l-Walīd Marwān ibn Janāḥ wrote a glossary containing almost 1100 entries, entitled Kitāb al-Talkhīṣ . This important text, considered lost until recently, contains Arabic and foreign-language names of simple drugs, weights, measures, and other medical terms. In the present volume, the Kitāb al-Talkhīṣ is edited and translated for the first time by Gerrit Bos and Fabian Käs. In detailed commentaries, the editors identify the substances mentioned in the Talkhīṣ . They also elaborate on the role of the text in the history of Arabic glossaries concerned with medical nomenclature. Special attention is paid to Ibn Janāḥ's Ibero-Romance phytonyms, analysed in depth by Mailyn Lübke and Guido Mensching.

Novel Medical and General Hebrew Terminology from the Middle Ages : Volume 8 /
:
This volume is a continuation of the seven already published titles in the series (2011-2024) and further pursues the mapping of medical terminology featuring in medieval Hebrew medical works in order to facilitate study of medical terms that do not appear in the existing dictionaries, as well as identifying the medical terminology used by specific authors and translators in order to identify anonymous medical material. The Hebrew terminology discussed in this volume has been derived from six different sources, namely translations of Guy de Chauliac's Inventarium sive Chirurgia Magna, Bernard de Gordon's Lilium Medicinae, and Ibn Sīnā's K. al-Qānūn.
