This volume is both a continuation of the five already published titles in the series (201121) and an addition to the Concise Dictionary of Novel Medical and General Hebrew Terminology from the Middle Ages. It continues mapping the medical terminology featured in medieval Hebrew medical works in order to facilitate study of medical terms that do not appear in the existing dictionaries as well as identifying the medical terminology used by specific authors and translators in order to identify anonymous medical material.
The terminology discussed in this volume has been derived from fourteen different sources, including translations of Ibn al-Jazzrs Zd al-musfir by Moses ibn Tibbon (Sefer edat ha-Derakhim) and the otherwise unknown Abraham ben Isaac (Sefer edah la-Oreim), as well as the translation of Constantine the Africans Latin version (Viaticum) prepared by Doeg ha-Edomi (Sefer Yair Netiv).
