Completion of the critical edition and English translation of Ibn al-Jazzār’s Zād al-musāfir (books III until V) accompanied by studies on the sources of the text and an online publication of the complete work

世纪末，来自凯鲁万的穆罕默德·伊本·伊卜拉赫姆·伊本·阿卜哈利德·伊本·贾扎尔（英语：Khālid Ibn al-Jazzār）撰写了一部名为《旅行者的饮食和久坐者的营养》（Zād al-musāfir wa-qt al-Musāfir）的治疗纲要。这本医学手册在中世纪和近代早期的欧洲医生中非常受欢迎。阿拉伯原文被翻译成这些时代的科学语言五次，即中世纪拉丁语，拜占庭希腊语和希伯来语。尽管这些翻译对西方医学史产生了巨大的影响，但到目前为止，还没有完整可靠的原版。该项目的目的是对伊本·贾扎尔的阿拉伯语原版七卷书中的第三卷至第五卷进行评论，这将完成申请人已经出版的版本。阿拉伯文本将再次附上附有评注的英文译文。本项目建立在2009-10年和2017-19年DFG资助的早期项目的基础上，在其框架内编辑了第一，第二和第七（7-30）册。此外，本申请的附属机构已经分别于1997年和2000年出版了第VI和VII（1-6）册的版本。为了方便读者使用全书，将与“Brill”出版社（莱顿）合作，在网上提供所有七本书。该项目的一个特别重点将是Zād al-musāfir的希腊语和阿拉伯语来源，现在可以对其进行完整的分析。

Aḥmad ibn Ibrāhīm ibn abī Khālid Ibn al-Jazzār from Kairouan wrote at the end of the 4th/10th century a therapeutic compendium entitled Zād al-musāfir wa-qūt al-ḥāḍir (“Provisions for the Traveller and Nourishment for the Sedentary”). This medical handbook enjoyed great popularity among the European physicians of the Middle Ages and the Early Modern Age. The Arabic original was translated five times into the languages of science of these eras, viz. Medieval Latin, Byzantine Greek, and Hebrew. Despite the enormous impact of these translations on the history of the occidental medicine, so far, no complete reliable edition of the original is available. The aim of this project is the critical edition of books III until V of the seven books of Ibn al-Jazzār’s Arabic original, which will complete the applicant’s editions already published. The Arabic text will, again, be accompanied by a commented English translation. The present project builds on earlier projects funded by the DFG in 2009-10 and 2017-19, in whose framework books I, II, and VII (7-30) were edited. The submitter of this application has, in addition, already published editions of books VI and VII (1-6) in 1997 and 2000 respectively. In order to facilitate the use of the complete work, all seven books will be made accessible online in cooperation with the publishing house “Brill” (Leiden). A special focus of this project will be on the Greek and Arabic sources of the Zād al-musāfir, which can now be analyzed in their entirety.
