Constantine the African and 'Ali ibn al-'Abbas al-Magusi: The Pantegni and Related Works (Studies In Ancient Medicine)
When the 10th-century Kamil as-sina'a (or al-kitab al-malaki) of 'Ali ibn al-'Abbas al-Magusi was adapted for a Latin-reading audience by Constantine the African in the late 11th century, the medieval West had the opportunity to use a text which covered the whole of medicine. But the 100-odd manuscripts suggest that Constantine's Pantegni was put together over a considerable period of time, and chapters from other Latin and translated Arabic medical works were added to, or substituted, those of the Kamil . This book is devoted to Constantine the African, shedding light on the School of Salerno and the formation of a medieval corpus in the High Middle ages.
