Marwān ibn Janāḥ: on the nomenclature of medicinal drugs (Kita?b al-talkhi?s?)

In early eleventh century Zaragoza, the eminent Jewish scholar Ab? l-Wal?d Marw?n ibn Jan?? wrote a glossary containing almost 1100 entries, entitled Kit?b al-Talkh??. 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 Kit?b al-Talkh?? 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 Talkh??. 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 Jan??’s Ibero-Romance phytonyms, analysed in depth by Mailyn Lübke and Guido Mensching.
