What is this Data?

Here you will find information about persons, places, literary works, and bibliographic items mentioned in or related to the History of Physicians (ʿUyūn al-Anbāʾ fī Ṭabaqāt al-Aṭibbāʾ), a biographical dictionary of physicians and scholars written by Ibn Abī Uṣaybiʿa (died 668 AH/1269 or 1270 CE). These entries are used to create networks showing the possible relationships or interactions between people. You can also take a look at the text of Ibn Abī Uṣaybiʿa's work, where we've tagged the people, places, and works he mentions with URIs identifying them. The Arabic edition and English translation is courtesy of Emilie Savage-Smith, Simon Swain and G. J. H. van Gelder (eds.), A literary history of medicine: the 'Uyūn al-anbā' fī ṭabaqāt al-aṭibbā' of Ibn Abī Uṣaybi'ah (Leiden: Brill, 2020) (licensed CC-BY-NC).

You can find these entities in individual TEI-XML files under the relevant folders:
