摘要
评论者: Ma'ase Tuviya(威尼斯,1708 年):Tuviya on Medicine and Science,Kenneth Collins、Samuel Kottek 和 Helena Paavilainen 编辑 Jordan Katz Kenneth Collins、Samuel Kottek 和 Helena Paavilainen 编辑。Ma'ase Tuviya(1708 年,威尼斯):图维亚论医学与科学》。耶路撒冷:路德维希-迈尔,2021 年。299 pp.插图,58.90 美元(978-965-92493-1-2)。图维亚-科恩可以说是现代早期最著名的犹太医生。科恩于 1652 年出生于法国梅斯,是摩西-科恩-纳罗尔(Moses Cohen Narol)的儿子,纳罗尔是波兰移民,曾在 1648-49 年赫梅利尼茨基大屠杀中逃难,并一度担任梅斯的首席拉比。在波兰度过成长期后,图维亚先后在奥得河畔法兰克福大学和帕多瓦大学学习,并最终与其他犹太学生一起获得了医学学位。我们对图维雅生平的了解大多来自他的巨著《Ma'ase Tuviya》(威尼斯,1708 年),这是一部希伯来语百科全书,内容包括自然科学、神学、药理学和医学。Ma'ase Tuviya》(威尼斯,1708 年)中所收文章的原始文本正是这部著作:Tuviya 论医学和科学》中所收文章的原始文本。令人遗憾的是,除了 19 世纪晚期学者大卫-考夫曼(David Kaufmann)发表的几封书信外,关于图维亚生平轨迹的信息很少。这使得《Ma'ase Tuviya》一书作为原始资料更加诱人,因为它不仅提供了有关作者的传记信息,还提供了有关早期现代犹太人参与科学和医学的见解。本卷由肯尼斯-柯林斯、塞缪尔-科特克和海伦娜-帕维莱宁编辑,弗雷德-罗斯纳作序,包括八篇文章,涉及图维亚-科恩的《Ma'ase Tuviya》的不同方面,此外还有一个附录,包含科恩文本的翻译节选。这些文章的部分内容曾发表在 Korot 特刊上:Korot: The Israeli Journal of the History of Medicine and Science》特刊上发表,科特克和柯林斯都曾担任该特刊的编辑。此外,Samuel Kottek 的一篇文章以德裔犹太医生弗里茨-卡恩(Fritz Kahn)为中心。Kottek 指出,"考虑到图维亚将人体描绘成房屋的插图,并与之进行比较",编辑们认为这篇文章值得收录到书中,这种说法很奇怪,因为很难在卡恩的插图和图维亚的早期作品之间找出具体的联系。卷首文章 "图维亚-科恩和他的医学研究 "由柯林斯撰写,概述了图维亚的医学教育以及他在帕多瓦大学与其他犹太学生的互动。这篇文章之后是 Kottek 撰写的一篇文章,文章主要通过识别图维亚-科恩作品的引文,试图将其作品置于上下文中。文章对文本所揭示的内容提出了一些看法,但对这些信息的含义缺乏总体性的论证或解释。这篇文章之后是沙洛姆-萨巴尔(Shalom Sabar)关于《Ma'ase Tuviya》中插图的文章。萨巴尔的文章更多的是描述而非论证,他挖掘出了有关图维亚合作过的艺术家和雕刻师的有趣信息,以及他的书 [尾页 164]在布拉加迪纳 Stamparia 出版的信息。遗憾的是,我们对这些合作的实际运作情况知之甚少。最有趣的是萨巴尔对图维亚作者肖像的处理,图维亚在肖像中展示了自己手持地球仪和其他物品的形象,旨在标榜自己的科学权威。爱德华-雷克曼的 "一个伪造者的自白 "虽然采用了一种非常规的方式(问题是,如果一个人想伪造图维亚尚未被发现的医学文凭,应该包括哪些形式元素),但其中包含了精美的彩色文凭复制品,这些文凭属于与图维亚一起在帕多瓦学习的学生。除了描述文凭的标准形式外,这篇文章还提供了与图维亚在帕多瓦大学就读时间重叠的犹太学生的目录。杰里米-布朗(Jeremy Brown)的文章《比较与对照中的图维亚-科恩医学》将图维亚定位为其犹太成长经历和医学教育的产物,展示了他的世界观如何反映了当时流传的更广泛的思想模式。艾蒂安-勒皮卡尔的 "陈年旧酒 "一书,则是他的 "医学之父 "图维亚-科恩的代表作。

Tuviya Cohen was arguably the most famous Jewish physician of the early modern period. Born in Metz, France, in 1652, Cohen was the son of Moses Cohen Narol, a Polish émigré who fled the 1648–49 Khmelnytsky massacres and served for a time as the chief rabbi of Metz. After spending his formative years in Poland, Tuviya studied in the university of Frankfurt an der Oder and later in Padua, where he eventually earned his medical degree alongside other Jewish students.
Much of what we know of Tuviya's life is drawn from his magnum opus, Ma'ase Tuviya (Venice, 1708), a Hebrew encyclopedia of natural sciences, theology, pharmacology, and medicine. It is this work that constitutes the seed text for the articles collected in Ma'ase Tuviya (Venice 1708): Tuviya on Medicine and Science. Regrettably little information about Tuviya's life trajectory exists outside this text, aside from a few scant letters published by the late nineteenth-century scholar David Kaufmann. This makes the text of Ma'ase Tuviya all the more enticing as a primary source, as much for its insights about early modern Jewish engagement with science and medicine as for the biographical information about its author.
Edited by Kenneth Collins, Samuel Kottek, and Helena Paavilainen, with a foreword by Fred Rosner, this volume consists of eight articles concerning different aspects of Tuviya Cohen's Ma'ase Tuviya, in addition to an appendix containing translated excerpts of Cohen's text. Some components of these pieces were previously published in a special issue of Korot: The Israeli Journal of the History of Medicine and Science, of which Kottek and Collins have both served as editors. On top of this, one article by Samuel Kottek centers on the German-Jewish physician Fritz Kahn. Kottek notes that the editors deemed it worthy of inclusion in the book "in view of, and in comparison to, Tuviya's illustration of the human body delineated as a house," a curious claim given that it is difficult to discern a tangible connection between Kahn's illustrations and Tuviya's earlier work.
The volume's first article, "Tuviya Cohen and His Medical Studies," by Collins, presents an overview of Tuviya's medical education and his interaction with other Jewish students at the University of Padua. This essay is followed by a piece by Kottek, which attempts to place Tuviya Cohen's work in context primarily by identifying his work's citations. The article makes several observations about what the text reveals but lacks an overarching argument or explanation concerning the implications of this information. This piece is followed by Shalom Sabar's article on the illustrations in Ma'ase Tuviya. More descriptive than argumentative, Sabar's work unearths interesting information about the artists and engravers with whom Tuviya worked, in addition to the Stamparia Bragadina where he had his book [End Page 164] published. Unfortunately we know little about how these collaborations worked in practice. Most interesting is Sabar's treatment of Tuviya's author portrait, in which Tuviya displays himself holding a globe and other objects intended to mark his scientific authority. Edward Reichman's "Confessions of a Would-Be Forger," though presented in an unconventional way (with the question of what formal elements one would include should one wish to forge Tuviya's as yet undiscovered medical diploma), contains beautiful color reproductions of diplomas that belonged to students who studied alongside Tuviya in Padua.
