Isagoge كتاب إيساغوجي
Galen جالينوس
Ḥunayn ibn Isḥāq al-‘Ibādī حنين بن إسحق العبادي
- Scope & Content:
-
An Arabic translation in question-and-answer format of the Ars medica (Τέχνη ἰατρική) by Galen of Pergamon (جالينوس ; d. ca 216). The Arabic title إيساغوجي (Īsāghūjī) transcribes the the Greek word εἰσαγωγή (eisagōgē), meaning ‘introduction’. The Arabic version was begun by Ḥunayn ibn Isḥāq al-‘Ibādī (ca 809-873) and completed by his nephew, Ḥubaysh ibn al-Ḥasan al-Aʻsam (see note explaining this on title page, f. 28r, lines 3-6). The title page also gives an alternative title for the text: مسائل حنين بزيادات حبيش (Masā’il Ḥunayn bi-zīyādāt Ḥubaysh). Ḥunayn appears to be responsible for the arrangement of the text in question-and-answer form to be used as a medical catechism for testing students, as stated at the beginning of the text (f. 28v, lines 2-3, transcribed below).
Begins (f. 28v, lines 2-5):
كتاب إيساغوجي لجالينوس ترجمه حنين بن إسحاق يمتحن به
متعلمي الطب. قال جالينوس إلى كم جزء ينقسم الطب
قال إلى جزؤين قال وما هما قال العمل والعمل. إلى كم جزء ينقسم
العلم قال إلى ثلثة أجزاء قال وما هي قال العلم بمعرفة الأمور الطبعية
Ends (f. 55r, lines 11-15):
لأن الحمى تدل فيه على أمرين إما أن الأخلاط مأمونة كما يدل
في الحميات الحادة على العفونة وإما على أنها سليمة كما يدل
في حمى يوم وإما دلالته على أن العلة في مجاري البول فمثل ما
تدل على قرحة تكون في كليتين أو المثانة أو في ٮرٮحى (؟) البول أو في
القصيب من الرجل أو في الفرج من المرأة
