Interdisciplinary Integration of the Sciences in Kitāb al-Māʾ by Ibn al-Dhahabī al-Ṣuḥārī
al-Takāmul al-Maʻrifī bayna al-ʻUlūm fī Kitāb al-Māʼ li-Ibn al-Dhahabī al-Ṣuḥārī
التكامل المعرفي بين العلوم في كتاب الماء لابن الذهبي الصحاري
Abstract
Interdisciplinary integration is a healthy feature of the classical Arabic scholarly heritage, and of its lexicographical tradition above all, in all that tradition's varieties. Kitāb al-Māʾ by Abū Muḥammad ʿAbd Allāh al-Azdī al-Ṣuḥārī does not depart from that path. It is agreed to be the first medical-lexical dictionary ever compiled, and it therefore anticipated a great many scientific questions, as its modern editor has confirmed. The work brings together the sciences of medicine and of language, yet within its corners lie way-stations of history, the science upon which all other sciences are founded. How did al-Ṣuḥārī write the history of medicine? How does his dictionary contribute to general history? And how was the integration achieved between medicine and language on one side, and between medicine and history on the other? Language, which in this work is never separated from medicine, is treated on a foundation drawn from al-Khalīl al-Farāhīdī's Kitāb al-ʿAyn, which gives his lexicography its particular character. The study works from the dictionary itself, selecting and analysing a set of passages, reading the introductions of author and editor critically, and drawing on the few existing studies of the work.
