كتاب الحشائش (ترجمه ماشینی از فراداده‌های ناشر)
Label:Bodleian Library MS. Arab. d. 138
Description:كتاب الحشائش, An illustrated copy of Iṣṭafan ibn Bāsil's Arabic translation of Books III-V of Dioscorides' Materia Medica. Dioscorides’ Greek treatise on materia medica (Περὶ ὕλης ἰατρικῆς), composed of five books, was translated several times into Arabic. The version most widely circulated was that by Iṣṭafān ibn Bāsil and slightly revised by Ḥunayn ibn Isḥāq (d. 260/873 or 264/877). In the fourth/tenth century an interpretation of the Greek terms left unexplained in the Iṣṭafān/Ḥunayn version was undertaken in Spain, while in Iran (or possibly Samarqand), the Iṣṭafān translation was revised by al-Ḥusayn ibn Ibrāhīm ibn al-Ḥasan al-Khurshīd al-Ṭabarī al-Nātilī about 374/985. In the sixth/twelfth century, another translation was prepared by Mihrān ibn Manṣūr ibn Mihrān (fl. c. 545/1150) working in Diyārbakr from a Syriac version made in the third/ninth century by Ḥunayn ibn Isḥāq.
