Ḥunayn b. Isḥāq: A Translator of Galen’s Works or One of his Critical Interlocutors?
George Saliba, Ph.D.
Khwarzmi Chair in Arabic and Islamic Science
American University of Beirut
Ḥunayn b. Isḥāq (d. 873) is deservedly celebrated as one of the most able translators and transmitters of Greek thought into Arabic,
and particularly the main conveyer of Galen's works. Through a close reading of extant copies of Ḥunayn's translations,
this talk will give voice to Ḥunayn's misgivings and reactions to what he found was objectionable in Galen's works.
Ḥunayn's inability to hold back his disapproval when he would find the Galenic text wanting are by their sheer number and extent
startling to someone who has been schooled to think of Ḥunayn as a mere translator, and not as a commentator and critical interlocutor
who finds Galen a worthy opponent to engage with. The talk will be illustrated with several pages from Ḥunayn's translations that exhibit
this tendency and offer examples of what Ḥunayn's thought was not completely well covered by Galen
in the very texts he was actually translating.
George Saliba is the Founding Director of the Farouk Jabre Center for Arabic & Islamic Science and Philosophy and holder of the
Khwarizmi Chair in Arabic and Islamic science, in the History department at the American University of Beirut.
He is Professor Emeritus at Columbia University (NY). He has authored and coauthored more than twelve books and published
close to 200 articles in refereed academic journals. He has delivered public lectures at academic venues on all four continents.
He is internationally recognized and has won many awards and prizes including the chair of Distinguished Senior Scholar at the
Kluge Center of the Library of Congress and was a Carnegie Scholar (2009-2010).
Among his relatively recent publications include Islamic Science and the Making of the European Renaissance, MIT Press, 2007, (Pbk 2011),
and Ma'ālim al-aṣāla wa-l-ibdā' fī al-shurūḥ wa-l-ta'ālīq al-'ilmiyya al-muta'akhkhira. A'māl Shams al-Dīn al-Khafrī (956 h./1550 m.),
al-Furqan, London, 2015. His most recent article is “Knowledge of Arabic at Padua and its Reflection in Vesalius' Works,"
Mélanges de l'Université Saint-Joseph 68, (2019-2020), p. 21-57.
