    Summary note
    • Der kurze Traktat al-Maqāṣid al-saniyyah li-maʻrifat al-aǧsām al-maʻdiniyyah des berühmten ägyptischen Geschichtsschreibers al-Maqrīzī (gest. 845/1442) befasst sich mit der Klassifikation der Mineralien, ihren medizinischen Anwendungen sowie Theorien über ihre Entstehung. Käs legt hier erstmals eine kritische Textedition mit deutscher Übersetzung und ausführlichem Kommentar vor. Grundlage der Edition des arabischen Texts war in der Hauptsache ein Leidener Codex, der von al-Maqri-zi- eigenhändig korrigiert und mit Glossen erweitert wurde. -- Provided by publisher.
