Medicine at Monte Cassino offers unprecedented insights into the revolutionary arrival
of Arabic medicine to medieval Europe by exploring the oldest manuscript of Constantine
the African's Pantegni, which is identified here, for the first time, as a product
of the skilled team of scribes and scholars working directly under the supervision
of Constantine himself at the eleventh-century abbey of Monte Cassino.Fleeing his
North-African homeland for Italy, Constantine the African arrived in Salerno and then
joined the abbey of Monte Cassino south of Rome in c. 1077. He dedicated his life
to the translation of more than two dozen medical texts from Arabic into Latin. These
great efforts produced the first substantial written body of medical theory and practice
in medieval Europe. ; His most important contribution, an encyclopedia he called the
Pantegni (The Complete Art), was translated and adapted from the Complete Book of
the Medical Art by the Persian physician Ali ibn al-Abbas al-Magusi (d. 982). This
monograph focuses on the oldest manuscript of the Pantegni,Theorica, which represents
a work-in-progress with numerous unusual features.00This study, for the first time,
identifies Monte Cassino as the origin of this oldest Pantegni manuscript, and asserts
that it was made during Constantine?s lifetime. It further demonstrates how a skilled
team of scribes and scholars assisted the translator in the complex process of producing
this Latin version of the Arabic text. ; Several members of this production team are
identified, both in the Pantegni manuscript and in other copies of Cassinese manuscripts.00The
book breaks new ground by identifying a range of manuscripts produced at Monte Cassino
under Constantine's direct supervision, as evidenced by their material features, script,
and contents.
