This volume is both a continuation of the six already published titles in the series (2021-23) and an addition to the Concise Dictionary of Novel Medical and General Hebrew Terminology from the Middle Ages. It continues mapping the medical terminology features in medieval Hebrew medical woks in order to facilitate study of medical terms that do not appear in the existing dictionaries as well as identifying the medical terminology used by specific authors and translators in order to identify anonymous medical material. The terminology discussed in this volume has been derived from ten different sources, including translations from Ibn Sina’s K. al-Qanunby Nathan ha-Me'ati, Zerahyah Hen, and two anonymous authors. Further it contains terminology from the Ma'amar ba-Haqqazah, an anonymous Hebrew translation of Abu Bakr Muhammad ibn Zakariyya al-Razi’s K. fi al-fasd, as well as from an anonymous translation of Guy de Chauliac's Inventarium sive Chirurgia Magna.
