Dot Porter, Curator, Digital Research Services at the University of Pennsylvania Library, offers a video orientation to Penn Library’s LJS 299, a Hebrew translation of Avicenna’s medical encyclopedia. This manuscript was written in Yemen, ca. 1400-1525, and it is divided into 4 books (customary for Hebrew translations), but it also has unusual additional sections on drugs, the liver and intestines, and heart diseases.
