Ḥunayn ibn Isḥāq, La durata dell’esistenza (kitāb al-aʿmār wa-l-aǧāl); Come si dimostra la verità delle religioni (kayfiyyah idrāk ḥaqīqah al-diyānah); Epistola a ʿAlī ibn Yaḥyā in cui si menziona quanto è stato tradotto dei libri di scienza di Galeno e parte di ciò che non è stato ancora tradotto), testo arabo a cura di Samir Khalil Samir, traduzione e note a cura di Rosanna Budelli.
Ḥunayn Ibn Isḥāq is known as the most important translator of works from Greek into Arabic at the dawn of Islam. As Christian Intellectual and scientist, Ḥunayn contributed enormously to the development of Arab-Islamic civilization, thanks to his work of transmitting knowledge from the Greek world to the Arab world. At the crossroads of more cultures and more languages, Arab and Syriac Christians played a fundamental role in the circulation of science and philosophy in the territories dominated by the Abbasid Caliphate. As a doctor, Ḥunayn worked for a long time in Baghdad, at the court of the caliphs of the time. In this book we publish The Epistle of Ḥunayn Ibn Isḥāq to 'Alī Ibn al-Munajjim, with the complete list of the galenical works he translated, and two of his small treatises of apologetic and religious content (How to demonstrate the truth of religions and The duration of existence) that allow us to know his thoughts on sensitive topics that are still relevant today.
