<p class="indent">An Arab named al-<font face= "Arial Unicode MS">Ḥ</font>ārith ibn Kaladah al-Thaqafī is said to have studied medicine at Gondeshapur in Persia. He is also reported to have held learned discussions with the Persian ruler Khusraw Anushirwan, who died in AD 579. This treatise is supposed to contain his discussions on medical questions which he had with the Persian ruler. The authenticity of this interchange, however, is doubtful. </p>
|
||
|
||
<p class="indent">For data regarding this enigmatic figure, see G.R. Hawking, 'The Development of the Biography of al-Harith ibn Kalada and the Relationship between Medicine and Islam', in<em> The Islamic World from Classical to Modern Times: Essays in Honor of Bernard Lewis</em>, ed. C.E. Bosworth, C. Issawi, et alii (Princeton, NJ: Darwin Press, 1989), pp. 127-40.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p class="indent">The treatise <em>al-Risālah fī al-as’ilah al-<font face= "Arial Unicode MS">ṭ</font>abī‘īyah al-<font face= "Arial Unicode MS">Ḥ</font>ārithīyah</em> (<em>The Essay on the Natural Questions of al-<font face= "Arial Unicode MS">Ḥ</font>ārith</em>) concerns various questions regarding the natural world, and may be part of the Arabic versions of the genre known later in the Latin world as Problemata physica. For the latter, see <a href="abbreviation.html#ullmannM">Ullmann, <em>Medizin</em></a>, pp. 93-96. </p>
|
||
|
||
<p class="indent">The treatise is also known under the title <em>al-Muhawarat fī al-tibb baynahu wa-bayna Nushirawan</em> and is reproduced nearly in its entirey in the history of physicians written by Ibn Abi Usaybi'ah in the 13th century (see <a href="abbreviation.html#iau">IAU</a>, vol. 1, pp. 110-112).</p>
|
||
|
||
<p class="indent">Manuscript copies independent of the history by Ibn Abi Usaybi‘ah are rare. The NLM copy is a fragment, as is the copy in the Staatsbibliothek in Berlin (see <a href="abbreviation.html#ahlwardt">Ahlwardt, Berlin</a>, entry 6246, <a href="glossary.html#folio">folios</a> 31b-33b). A complete 17th-century copy is preserved at the University of Tokyo, Institute of Oriental Culture, Daiber Collection, MS. 113 folios 143v-146r; see Hans Daiber, <em>Catalogue of the Arabic Manuscripts in the Daiber Collection II, Institute of Oriental Culture, University of Tokyo</em>, Tokyo: The Documentation Center for Asian Studies, University of Tokyo, 1996, p. 149 entry 219. See also, <a href="abbreviation.html#sezgin">Sezgin, GAS III</a> pp. 203-204.</p>
