AHMAD IBN IBRAHIM (d. ca. 1009) Études sur le traité de médicine d'Abou Djáfar Ah'mad. Imprimerie impériale 1853 67 pp. 21.3 cm.

This brief treatise on the life and works of Ahmad ibn Ibrahim was prepared by Gustave Dugat (1824-1894), a member of the Société Asiatique. Ahmad ibn Ibrahim, called Ibn al-Jazz%ar, was a physician of North Africa to whom is ascribed the authorship of a medical compendium and a treatise on pharmacology. Dugat has here translated two chapters from the Arabic manuscript of al-Jazzar's medical compendium selecting chapters on the "disease" of love and hydrophobia. Dugat has also included a list of the complete contents of al-Jazzar's medical compendium and a list of the works cited in the compendium.
