En Kulliyyāt, Ibn Rushd sigue de manera bastante estricta las ideas sobre el estatus de la medicina del filósofo al-Fārābī. En Sharḥ Urjūzat Ibn Sīnā, Ibn Rushd sintetiza las concepciones de varias obras, entre las cuales Masā’il fī l-ṭibb de Ḥunayn ibn Isḥāq y Ḥubaysh, Qānūn fī l-ṭibb de Ibn Sinā y las obras sobre la lógica aristotélica de al-Fārābī. El análisis conjunto de estas fuentes, más las aportaciones de un nuevo manuscrito de Sharḥ Urjūzat Ibn Sīnā, proporcionan una idea más clara de la concepción de la medicina expuesta en esta obra y, en consecuencia, podemos reconsiderar y relativizar la diferencia entre esta concepción y la que se expone en Kulliyyāt. Las ideas de Ibn Rushd sobre el estatus de la medicina se analizan de acuerdo con ...

The latter procedure was echoed by several physicians in al-Andalus and was known to the physicians of the Renaissance, some of whom preferred it to all other methods. Ibn Zuhr's anointment with acorn oil is analyzed as a case study that broadens our knowledge of the innovative character of this author, one of the outstanding physicians in the history of al-Andalus medicine, and of the doctrinal change and its transmission in Pre-Modern medicine. The paper sketches the history of the application of salt in newborns, a practice still in use at present time, from its early antecedents in the Semitic cultures to Late Middle Ages and Renaissance, studying in particular the main sources of neonatal care in Greek and Arabo-Islamic medicine. Another ancestral procedure for the same purpose, rubbing with henna, and the interaction between learned and folk medicine are also considered within the framework of the discussion of whether salt or acorn oil was better for newborns.

It explores in depth the interesting subject of the exchange of knowledge between the Arab culture and Mediaeval Europe via Jewish intermediaries. The book presents a series of studies grounded on textual evidence, accurate analysis, and, in most cases, editions and translations of the texts under survey. The core of the collection is a section of five papers on Levi ben Gerson/Gersonides (1288-1344), which may be read, to a large extent, as a monograph on the astronomical works translated into Latin of one of the most original astronomers of the Late Middle Ages. This section may be considered, on the one hand, as an essential complement to the studies of Gersonides' astronomy published by many scholars, especially Goldstein, and on the other, as a follow-up to the research on Gersonides carried out as the 700th anniversary of his birth approached [cf. G. Dahan (ed.), Gersonide en son temps (1991) and G. Freudenthal (ed.), Studies on Gersonides: A Fourteenth-Century Jewish Philosopher-Scientist (1992)]. The first study in the section on Gersonides, entitled ÔThe Latin translation of Levi ben Gerson's Astronomy', is Mancha's contribution to the latter book. This article, together with ÔLevi ben Gerson's Astronomical Work: Chronology and Christian Context', describes for the first time the main features of the translation of Gersonides's astronomy into Latin, which is only a part of his

Conceptualization amounts to the definition of an object of knowledge, and assent to the recognition,viasome kind of reasoning, that this definition is true. One of the authors who dealt with both topics in greatest depth was al-Fārābī, whoseoeuvreexerted a profound influence on Ibn Bājja. This article analyzes the materials ontaṣawwurandtaṣdīqfound in Ibn Bājja's notes regarding al-Fārābī's writings on logic and scientific method, namely the glosses toKitāb al-Burhān. The analysis shows, on the one hand, that he understood perfectly the importance of both terms in al-Fārābī's construal of Aristotle's scientific method; and on the other, that he used them to deal with human thought processes. Indeed, conceptualization and assent were essential notions for Ibn Bājja, and underlie some of his best-known works.
