Ibn Butlan's Tacuinum sanitatis. The Transformation of Knowledge from the 11th to the 16th Century

The Ph.D. project examines Ibn Butlan's Tacuinum sanitatis, a medieval medical Treaty that seeks to guide its readers how to live a healthy life. Ibn Butlan was an Arabic scholar, who wrote the Arabic version (Taqwîm al-Ṣiḥḥa) in the 11th century. It was translated to Latin in the mid-13th century and spread in different forms in medieval Europe. The Tacuinum sanitatis condenses medieval medical knowledge in forty tables including the humoral pathological effects of food, drinks, clothes, daily activities and more on the human body. This project investigates the transmission and transformation of the medical entries and, thereby, focuses on the Latin and vernacular translations of late medieval Europe. Three levels will be considered during the analysis: first, the items that change on a medical or textual level will be analyzed, second, the items that change due to intercultural or regional differences will be taken into account, and thirdly, the transformation of the manuscripts in regards to their layouts and illumination will be explored, which will show how forms of representation imply specific intercultural situations of reading and reception.

Additionally, the project seeks to include previously unexplored manuscripts and combine theoretical approaches from cultural history and history of knowledge to write a history of reception for the Tacuinum sanitatis and its many multimodal processes of transformation. Lastly, it will add new perspectives to the intercultural history of medical knowledge in medieval Europe.
