Arabic and Latin Glossary

Go to database

The Arabic and Latin Glossary is a dictionary of the vocabulary of the Arabicâ€“Latin translations of the Middle Ages. It unites the entries of all existing Arabicâ€“Latin glossaries in modern editions of medieval works. The Glossary has a double aim: to improve our understanding of the Arabic influence in Europe, especially with respect to scientific vocabulary, and to provide a lexical tool for the understanding of Arabic scientific texts. It is currently based on 37 sources, which cover medicine, philosophy, theology, astrology, astronomy, mathematics, optics, botany, and zoology.
