Ibn Al-Jazzar on fevers : a critical edition of Zād al-musāfir wa-qūt al-ḥāḍir (Provisions for the traveller and nourishment for the sedentary), Book 7, chapters 1-6 : the original Arabic text with an English translation, introduction, and commentar

First published in 2000. Due to the author's ongoing interest in Ibn al-Jazzar's medical compendium, called Ziid al-musiifir wa-qiit al-/:la4ir (Provisions for the Traveller and Nourishment for the Sedentary) he would like to present to the reader a critical edition with translation and introduction of the section from Bk. 7, chs. 1-6 which deals with the different kinds of fevers. Such an edition is an urgent desideratum in the history of Islamic medicine, since so far none of the medical works of the Islamic physicians dealing with fevers has been published in a critical edition and translation. This is the first critical edition and translation of the first Islamic medical work on fevers. Zad almusafir is perhaps the most influential handbook in the history of medical science, and Gerrit Bos's provides invaluable insight into the medical theory of Book Seven.
