Albucasis, Traitier De Cyrurgie edition De La Traduction En Ancien Francais De La Chirurgie D'Abul Qasim Halaf Ibn Abbas Al-Zahrawi Du Manuscrit BNF, Francais 1318

Editio princeps of the O.F. translation of Albucasis (ms. BNF fr. 1318), with introduction and glossary. The text, hitherto neglected, is important as one of the earliest medieval vernacular surgical treatises (dating from c. 1270); and because the Albucasis translation goes back (via a medieval Latin version) to an Arabic original; finally, as an example of Lorraine non-literary prose. The distinctively Lorraine text contains not only numerous first attestations of medical technical terms in French, but also a quantity of previously unrecorded Arabicisms.Abu al-Qasim Khalaf ibn Abbas al-Zahrawi is the author of 'Albucasis, Traitier De Cyrurgie edition De La Traduction En Ancien Francais De La Chirurgie D'Abul Qasim Halaf Ibn Abbas Al-Zahrawi Du Manuscrit BNF, Francais 1318', published 0006 under ISBN 9783484523258 and ISBN 3484523255.
