AHMAD IBN IBRAHIM (d. ca. 1009). Études sur le traité de médicine d'Abou Djáfar Ah'mad. Paris: 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.
