Problems of identification of Andalusian sources in Abū l-Jayr al-Išbīlī's Kitāb ‘Umdat al-tabīb
Keywords:
Botany, Sources, Al-AndalusAbstract
The botanical work 'Umdat al-tabīb of the Sevillian author Abū l-Jayr al-Išbīlī stands out, for the substantial amount of sources mentioned, which haven't been studied at length till now. We analyze how two of these sources —al-Yahūdī and Ibn Ŷulŷul— are dealt with, which are the author's opinions on both, and, most importantly, how they are cited and referenced due to some inconsistencies and inaccuracies.Downloads
