Based on a short pseudo-Galenic treatise, whose Greek original is lost, ʿUbaidallāh’s Arabic commentary is a comprehensive and in many ways unique piece of scientific writing that moreover promotes a psychological understanding of physical illness. Oliver Kahl’s present book offers a critical Arabic edition with annotated English translation of ʿUbaidallāh’s work on apparent death, framed by a detailed introductory study and extensive glossaries covering all relevant terms; for comparative purposes, the Arabic and Hebrew recensions of the lost Greek prototype are presented in an appendix.","brand":"Oliver Kahl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48269011714299,"sku":"9789004371286","price":170.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/CoreSourceHub_902bd359-24c6-4155-af27-e83705395d1f.jpg?v=1774721464","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/ubaidallah-ibn-buhtisu-on-apparent-death-9789004371286","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
