A newly discovered Arabic-Hebrew medieval philosophical dictionary, including key-terms of Maimonides' Guide

It comes, it publishes and translates into an anonymous commented version Philosophical Dictionary Hebrew, probably written in the thirteenth century and so far unknown.

The manuscript of Turin, Biblioteca Nazionale Universitaria, A. II. 12, includes (on folios 213r-217v) a short Hebrew dictionary of 39 philosophical terms. 23 of these terms can be found in the introduction to part two of Maimonides' Guide of the Perplexed, which has been copied in full lenght in the manuscript as well (according to Samuel Ibn Tibbon's Hebrew translation). The dictionary was probably written in the second half of the 13th century by an anonymous scribe and has been unknown to scholars until now. This article offers a critical edition of the original text of the dictionary, with a facsimile reproduction of the relevant folios as well as an English annotated summary of its content. © 2007 Brill.
