"Simon of Genoa's Medical Lexicon", an edited volume based on the
conference held on March 17th, 2012, is part of the Simon Online
project - a dynamically growing Wiki edition of Simon of Genoa's
Clavis sanationis, a Latin-Greek-Arabic medical dictionary from the
late 13th century. In the individual articles, written by
well-known scholars, authorities in their fields of research, Simon
and his major work, are approached from different perspectives and
as a whole. The volume offers a comprehensible and well-balanced
collection of current research on Simon and Clavis sanationis. The
volume demonstrates the importance of the Clavis, not only for the
history of pharmacology and medicine, but also for Byzantine and
medieval studies, Roman, Greek, Latin and Arabic philology and
lexicography. Barbara Zipser (Doctor of Philosophy, Wellcome Trust
University Award 2006, 2010) is a researcher at the Centre for the
Study of the Body and Material Culture, History Department, Royal
Holloway University of London. Her main field of research is Greek
medicine from Galen to the late Middle Ages, with an emphasis on
textual criticism, manuscript transmission, and the formation of
Greek vernacular terminology. Dr Zipser is a well-known and
promising young scholar in the field of Ancient and Medieval
Medicine. She runs Simon Online (http://www.simonofgenoa.org) - the
joint edition and translation project of Simon of Genoa's Clavis
sanationis, a dictionary of Latin, Greek and Arabic medical
terminology in Wiki format.
