Without going into great detail, it is worth mentioning a few of the most relevant events and factors in this historical and scientific process. The most important of these phenomena is the translation into Arabic of Dioscorides’ De Materia Medica, enabling the work to be transmitted and commented on across the Arab world.1 Likewise, it is important to recall that Islam incorporated a number of pharmacological traditions, which brought with them new drugs that had been unknown to the Greeks and, in turn, new names to designate them. Along the same lines, we must bear in mind the process by which pharmacology was established, cultivated and developed across the widely diverse set of regions, peoples and languages with which the Arab-Islamic world entered into contact, a process which would reach its culmination in al-Andalus.2 The linguistic impact of this process was immense, involving a major influx of new medical terms from the most disparate array of regions and languages. Even the names of simple medicines (asmāʾ al-adwiya al-mufrada) were so diverse that, in the words of Max Meyerhof, “n’a pu manquer de déconcerter les médecins du moyen âge arabe”.3 As such, there was a pressing need to make sense of this great mass of foreign terms, and to identify these drugs and medicines being referred to by the strangest of names. The desire to reduce this mosaic to a set of known terms gave rise among Arab writers to a concern with linguistics, and more specifically lexicography. This concern is clear in the medieval pharmacological literature, where","PeriodicalId":198010,"journal":{"name":"The Maghrib in the Mashriq","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114448608","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Medieval biographical dictionaries devoted to Andalusi scholars clearly show the predominance of the discipline of Qurʾānic readings both in their training and in their teaching activities, while Eastern scholars seem to have devoted more attention to ḥadīth transmission.1 The oldest mention of the teaching of Qurʾānic readings in al-Andalus dates back to the 4th/10th century, with the presence of Abū al-Ḥasān al-Anṭākī (d. 377 H/987 CE) in Córdoba from 352 H/963 CE onwards, invited by the Umayyad caliph al-Ḥakam II al-Mustanṣir bi-llāh to train the inhabitants of al-Andalus in the science of the qirāʾāt. Ibn al-Faraḍī (d. 403 H/1013 CE) tells us that he was the best in this field and that no one equaled him in his time. Abū ʿAmr al-Dānī (d. 444 H/1053 CE) learned Qurʾānic readings from one of his students, ʿUbayd Allāh b. Salama.2 Despite this relatively late occurrence in the Andalusi religious context, the study of Qurʾānic readings grew exponentially between the 4th/10th century and the 6th/12th century, the latter century having the largest number of specialists in this domain, as testified by Ibn al-Abbār (d. 658 H/1260 CE) in his bio-bibliographical dictionary (Fig. 1).3 Thus, in just over a century, owing to a substantial number of Andalusi scholars receiving their training not only in al-","PeriodicalId":198010,"journal":{"name":"The Maghrib in the Mashriq","volume":"85 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126238753","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
