The eleventh century author, Ubayd Allah bin Jibra’il bin Bakhtishu‘ (or Bokhtishu‘), the last prominent member of the famous Bakhtishu‘ family of physicians, Christians in the service of the Abbasid caliphs, wrote what has appropriately been called (by Meyerhof) a compendium of medical-philosophical definitions. Sbath here publishes that work with notes and a brief introduction. His text is based on three manuscripts from his own collection, dating from the 13th to the 17th centuries. As the works of this important family have generally perished, this unique witness to their knowledge and skill makes will be welcomed warmly. The book will be of great interest to Arabic scholars interested in medicine and philosophy of the Greek tradition.

Approaches to the History of the Interpretation of the Qur’ān

In recent years, the Qur’ān has come to the forefront of scholarly investigations in Islamic studies. However, the traditional interpretation of the book, commonly termed tafsīr, remains a vast, virtually untapped field of investigation. Many Muslims tend to ignore the material, seeing it as a storehouse of traditional restraints, and scholars frequently gloss over its importance as a historical record of the Muslim community, not appreciating the depth and breadth of the literature. The essays gathered here expose and explore various aspects of the field of tafsīr, and their potential for scholarly research.
