It includes, besides a travel regimen (written likely as a health guide for the pilgrimage to Mecca), a short pharmacopoeia of single and compound remedies deemed useful for the traveller.  The work was composed for Kamāl al-Dīn al-Bārizī (d. 1452), the head of the Mamluk Chancery. The Arabic edition, English translation, and commentary of this text are framed by a detailed introductory study of the Arabic-language tradition of travel regimens and various medico-pharmacological glossaries.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Zsuzsanna Csorba\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9004708197\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789004708198\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/31\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 300\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Zsuzsanna Csorba","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46217289564415,"sku":"9789004708198","price":132.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5f64b954-d942-4827-b8e1-ec372dd124b0.jpg?v=1728514818","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-late-mamluk-medical-regimen-zsuzsanna-csorba-9789004708198","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
