The Kitab Tahrim dafn al-ahya (Book on the Prohibition to bury the Living) of Ubayd Allah ibn Jibril Ibn Bukhtishu (d. after 1058 CE) is a medico-historical document unique in Arabic literature. The referential frame of Living is the clinical state of suspended animation, a deathlike condition of not infrequent occurrence. Ubayd Allah here discusses the quality of death as a transition from being to non-being, as well as its potentially treacherous nature, on a purely medical basis, and it is precisely this topical focus, blinding out all aspects of religion, mythology or ritual, which accounts for the huge significance of Ubayd Allah s writing. We can even go one step further and maintain that this treatment of the transitory character of death under the exclusive perspective of medicine has no counterpart in premodern European literatures either, nor indeed in the rich medico-literary traditions of the Indians and the Chinese. The Kitab Tahrim dafn al-ahya is preserved in a single, complete Arabic manuscript. Although a substantially larger and in many ways highly original literary production, Ubayd Allah s writing is conceived in the first place as a commentary to the small, now lost pseudo-Galenic treatise Peri tou mè thaptein entos mias hèmeras On not to bury before a Day has passed, which Ubayd Allah considered authentic and of whose medieval Arabic translation under the title Tahrim al-dafn qabl arbaa wa-ishrin saa (Prohibition to bury before 24 Hours have passed) we possess several manuscripts; later, in the high Middle Ages, this Arabic rendition was itself translated into Hebrew under the title Sefer Issur ha-qevurah (Book on the Prohibition of a Burial), of which latter we also possess manuscripts; the treatise, though never translated into Latin, became known in the scholarly tradition of Europe under the title De prohibenda sepultura (On Prohibiting a Burial). To this day, neither Ubayd Allah s extremely important writing nor the pseudo-Galenic treatise have been edited, never mind translated or evaluated for their historical and scientific contents. Core objectives of the proposed project are: the establishment of a critical edition of the Arabic text of the Kitab Tahrim dafn al-ahya (68 folios or 136 pages), together with its pseudo-Galenic template (ca. 7 folios or 14 pages); the provision of an annotated English translation of the edited Arabic text(s); the classification of the textual material in terms of scientific history, and its philological evaluation, within the framework of an introductory study; and the registration of all relevant technical terms in a glossary.

《古兰经》：“真主的使者（愿主福安之）”（愿主福安之），“真主的使者（愿主福安之）”（愿主福安之），“真主的使者（愿主福安之）”（愿主福安之）。公元1058年后）是阿拉伯文学中独一无二的医学历史文献。《活着》的参照系是假死的临床状态，这是一种经常发生的类似死亡的状态。Ubayd Allah在这里讨论了死亡作为从存在到非存在的过渡的质量，以及其潜在的危险性质，纯粹基于医学，正是这种主题焦点，掩盖了宗教，神话或仪式的所有方面，这说明了Ubayd Allah写作的巨大意义。我们甚至可以更进一步，坚持认为，在医学的专属视角下，这种对死亡的短暂性的处理，在前现代的欧洲文学中，甚至在印度和中国丰富的医学文学传统中，都没有对应的东西。Kitab Tahrim dafn al-ahya保存在一份完整的阿拉伯语手稿中。虽然一个大得多，在许多方面高度原创的文学作品，乌拜德阿拉的写作是设想在第一位的评论小，现在失去了伪盖伦论文佩里图mèthaptein entos alphèmeras在不埋葬之前，一天已经过去了，这是Ubayd安拉认为真实的，其中世纪阿拉伯语翻译的标题下Tahrim al-dafn qabl arbaa wa-ishrin saa（禁止埋葬前24小时已经过去），我们拥有几个手稿，后来，在中世纪高，这个阿拉伯语翻译本身被翻译成希伯来文的标题下Sefer Issur公顷qevurah（关于禁止埋葬的书），其中后者我们也拥有手稿;这篇论文虽然从未被翻译成拉丁文，但在欧洲学术传统中以《禁止埋葬》为题而闻名。直到今天，无论是Ubayd Allah的极其重要的作品还是伪盖伦论文都没有被编辑过，更不用说翻译或评估其历史和科学内容了。拟议项目的核心目标是：建立Kitab Tahrim dafn al-ahya（68页或136页）的阿拉伯文本的关键版本，以及其伪盖伦模板（约100页）。这些工作包括：编写一份科学文献汇编（约7页或14页）;为编辑后的阿拉伯文文本提供一份附有注释的英文译文;在介绍性研究的框架内，根据科学史对文本材料进行分类，并对其进行语言学评价;以及将所有相关的技术术语登记在一份词汇表中。
