Download or read book Studies in the Formation of Medieval Hebrew Philosophical Terminology written by Reimund Leicht and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2020-02-17 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume contains studies based on papers delivered at the international conference of the PESHAT in Context project entitled “Themes, Terminology, and Translation Procedures in Twelfth-Century Jewish Philosophy.” The central figure in this book is Judah Ibn Tibbon. He sired the Ibn Tibbon family of translators, which influenced philosophical and scientific Hebrew writing for centuries. More broadly, the study of this early phase of the Hebrew translation movement also reveals that the formation of a standardized Hebrew terminology was a long process that was never fully completed. Terminological shifts are frequent even within the Tibbonide family, to say nothing of the fascinating terminological diversity displayed by other authors and translators discussed in this book.

This book was released on 2011-04-26 with total page 552 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Medieval synonym literature is a comprehensive field, which, as a text genre, has not received due attention in philological scholarship until now. This volume contains the first critical edition of Book 29 of Shem Tov ben Isaac's Sefer ha-Shimmush and a lexicological analysis of the medico-botanical terms in the first of the two synonym lists of this book.

Containing over 700 entries, this edition is one of the most extensive glossaries of its kind. It gives scholars a wide overview of the formation of medieval medical terminology in the Romance languages and Hebrew, as well as within the Arabic and Latin traditions.

This book was released on 2023-03-06 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Romance is a fertile ground for linguistic research. Instead of limiting their studies to one specialised area, some Romance scholars have managed to combine different aspects of the broad field of Romance linguistics in an impressive way. This volume is dedicated to the multifaceted research interests of Guido Mensching: Part 1 focusses on different aspects of the architecture of grammar and linguistic theory, covering Italian, Portuguese, French, Sardinian and Romance. The focus of Part 2 is on historical linguistics, discussing Old Occitan lexicography and Romance in Hebrew scripts. Part 3 is dedicated to aspects relating to plurilingualism, language contact and sociolinguistics. Part 4 explores research arguments that go beyond Romance philology but are nonetheless intertwined with it.

This book was released on 2024-05-30 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the intersection of Jewish studies and linguistic research, the essays assembled in this book approach the topic of the languages of Sephardic Jews from different perspectives, spanning chronologically from the Middle Ages to the present day. Drawing on diverse sources – from medical glossaries to inquisition archives, from rabbinic responsa to recordings of today's speakers – the scholars collaborating on this project have endeavoured to reconstruct fragments of a complex and elusive linguistic reality, which over the centuries has been shaped by the historical experience of its speakers. An innovative collection of rigorously conducted synchronic and diachronic studies that contributes to expanding our knowledge and opening new perspectives on crucial issues, such as the effects of contact on the linguistic structures, the possibility of a norm for polycentric languages, the relationship between the lexicon of a language and the vitality of its speech community.

Book excerpt: "This is the first volume of a three volume publication dedicated to the commented critical edition of the two synonym lists that appear in book twenty-nine of the Sefer ha-Shimmush by Shem Tov ben Isaac de Tortosa. The Sefer ha-Shimmush is itself a translation of the Kitāb at-taṣrīf li-man ʻajiza an at-taʼlīf (The Arrangement of Medical Knowledge for One Who Is Not Able to Compile a Book for Himself) by the Andalusian physician Abū l-Qāsim Ḫalaf ibn ʻAbbās az-Zahrāwī, known in the Western world as Abulcasis. Shem Tov omitted the original Arabic, Syrian, Persian, and Ibero-Romance indices in his translation and substituted them instead with the two lists that are issued here. The first list, which is edited in this volume, starts with the Hebrew or Aramaic term, followed by the Arabic synonym, and then - in about seventy per cent of the entries - by the vernacular term, which is usually Old Occitan, and/or by a Latin synonym."--Pt. 1, p.
