The Oriental Tradition of Paul of Aegina's Pragmateia
This study of the reception of Paul of Aegina's handbook (or "pragmateia") in the Syriac and Arabic traditions provides fascinating new insights into Greek-Syriac-Arabic translation techniques and the impact of Greek medical theory on the development of Islamic medicine.
The Book Of Women's Love
First published in 2005. The first part of this book is an historical study of the Hebrew written production on women's healthcare and of Jewish women's lives and experiences regarding the care of their bodies during the late Middle Ages in the Mediterranean West. The aim is to restore value to feminine knowledge and practices that were significant then and remain so today. The second part presents an edition translated into English with commentary of the Hebrew compilation Sefer Ahavat Nashim, the Book of Women's Love. This was compiled in the late Middle Ages and is preserved in a single manuscript from Catalonia-Provence. Its contents are concerned with magic, sexuality, cosmetics, and gynecology - areas of knowledge essentially, though not exclusively, related to women. The author focuses on the relation between women and health care and examines both women's knowledge and knowledge about women. This pioneering work makes a valuable contribution to the history of Jewish culture and Jewish women during the Middle Ages, and also makes a substantial contribution to the history of medicine.
Ibn Sab’in of the Ricote Valley; the First and Last Islamic Place in Spain
This book is the outcome of a close study of the Ricote Valley and its famous Sufi Ibn Sab'in. Its purpose is to disclose more of the historical and comparative data. Arab Spaniards have created a glorious human story that lasted for centuries within the scope of the Mediterranean culture. However, a lot of the history of the Ricote Valley is only written in Spanish and still not in English. Andalusian scientists moved from the region of Murcia to the heart of the Islamic world. Their move had quite a deep effect. Among these scientists was the great Sufi philosopher, Muhammad Ibn-'Abdul-Haq known as Ibn- Sab'in (d. 669 H. = 1270 AD), who came from the Ricote Valley. He is the originator of the deep philosophical approach in dealing with highly humanistic Sufi thought, and the author of the magnificent treatise Al-Kalam 'ala Al-Masa'il Al-Siqqilliyya, in which he answered the philosophical questions that Frederick II, the Emperor of Sicily, sent to Muslim scientists in the Mashreq and the Maghreb.
The Bosnian and Herzegovinian Contribution to Transcultural Philosophy
This collection contains seven chapters that focus on relevant sources introducing the field of intercultural and transcultural studies in the Balkan region, specifically Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as contributions by Bosnian and Herzegovinian scholars from different epochs and nations including medieval, modern and postmodern trends in BH philosophy. Through the entire study of BiH contributions to transcultural philosophy, the author attempts to strengthen the already-existing transcultural processes and centuries-long transcultural exchanges. In these chapters, the author also attempts to further develop and improve efforts in the field of transcultural philosophy and by eo ipso, the navigation of Bosnian and Herzegovinian cultural differences in today’s world.
Relatos
Ibn Qutayba (828-889) es uno de los principales autores de la literatura árabe clásica. Este insigne iraquí, que vivió en la época dorada del califato 'abbasí, es un prestigioso polígrafo que cultivó el género de la prosa literaria (adab) y, junto a Ibn Al-Muqaffa' (720-756) y Al-Yàhiz (776-869), es su representante más célebre. Escribió más de 23 obras, entre las que destaca 'Uyùn al-ajbàr (Fuentes de noticias), un libro de carácter enciclopédico en el que Ibn Qutayba, con un estilo culto pero ameno al mismo tiempo, refiere historias, anécdotas y leyendas de diferentes personajes, en su mayoría, famosos en la tradición cultural del Islam, de gran valor histórico y literario, y del que no hay traducciones al español. El presente trabajo, realizado por la profesora Arvide, es un estudio sobre este eminente escritor, e incluye una introducción sobre su vida y su obra, y una selección de textos árabes de los 'Uyùn acompañados de su traducción al español, la primera realizada a esta lengua. Se trata de un estudio que cubre una importante laguna existente en este ámbito y que, sin duda, interesará a un amplio círculo de lectores.
Christians' and Muslims' Responses to the COVID-19 Pandemic in Nigeria
This collection of essays attempts to speak to the past, as it does the future. It engages the dialectics in Christians and Muslims’ responses to the COVID-19 pandemic from theological, philosophical, sociological and gender perspectives. The interdisciplinary approach became a necessity based on the realization that beyond the high fatalities that resulted from the pandemic, people’s responses to it were as eclectic as were their existential realities. This volume is particularly unique because it yields space to Christianity and Islam and presents the trajectories in their practitioners’ response to the pandemic. The authors historicize, theorize and theologize these responses and present exemplar templates of coping mechanisms for religious institutions and people faced with unconventional situations bordering on religious ideals. The book is a valuable resource for scholars, religious leaders, historians, health practitioners and faith-based organizations on strategies to adopt for future pandemics.
