This edition contains an apothecary's manual, which was the most popular handbook of drugs in medieval Europe; and an incomplete manual of special therapeutics., Works by Arabic author Ibn Māsawayh were ordinarily issued in Latin translation as by Jean Mesue or Mesue Major., The life of Mesue and Doctorum ... cognomina by S. Champier; the Anatomia porci appended to Copho's Ars medendi is falsely attributed to Copho, according to DNLM., aMasawayh al-Mardini (known in the West as Mesue the Younger) is supposed to have been a Jacobite Christian who lived in the tenth century. His works have never been found. It is believed that a Latin author of the early thirteenth century assumed the name of Mesue, hoping thereby to gain ready recognition for his works under the guise of the ninth century Syrian physician who wrote in Arabic. |
