DESCRIPTION
It is our great pleasure to offer to the reader this edition of the original Hebrew text, medieval Latin translation and modern English translation of the Kelal Qatan (Concise Summary) composed by David BenYom Tov, a Hebrew scholar who lived in the first half of the fourteenth century. This text is the most detailed and extensive original Hebrew treatise on astrological medicine surviving in Hebrew literature. While all three authors have read, criticized, and otherwise contributed to the entire endeavor, Gerrit Bos takes primary responsibility for the Hebrew text and English translation, Tzvi Langermann for the Introduction and Charles Burnett for the Latin text. On this occasion we thank Jos? Chab?s for obtaining a copy of the Latin manuscript and for interpreting Catalan words, Benjamin Richler for help with Hebrewmanuscripts, and the libraries of Barcelona, Oxford, and Paris for the manuscripts we consulted.
