| Summary: | In this article we present an unedited fragmentary Hebrew version of the Medieval Latin herbal "De virtutibus herbarum." In section 1 we introduce the original Latin text and the Hebrew translation, taking into account the most important textual and linguistic characteristics of the latter. In section 2 we offer a critical edition of the Hebrew text, using a synoptic format in order to facilitate comparison with the Latin text. This section also includes an English translation. Since the Hebrew version was most probably made in southern France, it contains a considerable amount of Romance and Latin elements, which are listed and discussed in section 3. In section 4 we briefly summarize the findings of this article and make some comments on the philological and historical value of the text. |
