Or. 4732\/1 (SCAL 15), fols. 1a-17b\u003c\/i\u003e, Gerrit Bos and Klaus-Dietrich Fischer present an edition of two unique medieval lists of medico-botanical terms in Latin and German, written in Hebrew characters. Jewish physicians probably used these kinds of lists for the acquisition of pharmaceuticals they needed for the preparation of medicines. The edition with a total of 568 entries features transcriptions from the Hebrew, tables and indexes of the analysed terms in a regularized form, and a facsimile of the Leiden manuscript.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Many of the German plant names featuing in the edition are not listed in the otherwise monumental reference work \u003ci\u003eWörterbuch der deutschen Pflanzennamen\u003c\/i\u003e (\u003ci\u003eDictionary of German Plant Names\u003c\/i\u003e) by the German botanist Heinrich Marzell. This testifies to the value of these glossaries for further research. It is also useful to see which Latin forms were in current use at the time of creation of the edition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gerrit Bos\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9004459138\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789004459137\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/11\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 172\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.94lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.10w x 0.44d","brand":"Gerrit Bos","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":49148331294975,"sku":"9789004459137","price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-glimpse-into-medical-practice-gerrit-bos-9789004459137","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
