Description

File containing numerous manuscript pages, all relating to Maimonides’s Aphorisms («fuṣūl»). The text of Maimonides, edited in Arabic and translated into German by Paul Kahle, was published as "Appendix" to the study of O. Schröder dedicated to a treatise by Galen that provides comments on the medical portion of the Timaeus. The «Aphorisms» of Maimonides discusses a few divergences with Galen on minor points. Kahle transcribed, translated and discussed various excerpts on Maimonides, quoted in various Arabic sources on medicine, and the «maqāla»s of Maimonides’s« Aphorisms» («fuṣūl») as preserved in an assortment of manuscripts.
