The dispensatory of Ibn at-Tilmīd: Arabic text, English translation, study and glossaries by Oliver Kahl.
Leiden: Brill, 2007.
Critical Arabic edition, annotated English translation, introductory study, and two-way glossaries of the dispensatory composed around the middle of the 12th century CE by the Nestorian physician Ibn at-Tilmīḏ. The dispensatory, recognized as a masterpiece already by mediaeval contemporaries, soon after its appearance became the pharmacological standard work in the hospitals and pharmacies of Baghdad and the wider Arab East, replacing, after almost 300 years, the vademecum of Sābūr ibn Sahl.
