See Steinschneider, Hebräische Uebersetzungen, p. 770, and his Catologus Librorum Hebraeorum in Bibl. Bodl., Berlin (1852-60), p. 1921. In the Zeitschrift der Morgenländischen Gesellsch., vol. xxx, p. 145, he makes the bare statement that the Tractatus de Causis et Indiciis Morborum--the Hauptwerk of Maimonides, as it is called by Haeser--rests upon an error. In his catalogue of Bodleian books (p. 1926) he puts the book down as a bookseller’s fraud after what is obviously only a cursory glance. He says ‘fraude bibliopolae ex variis opp. imperfectis confictus est, in quibus an Nostri sit aliquid non facile eruendum est’.

Ibn Abi ‛Uṣaibia wrote an invaluable dictionary of the lives of the most noted physicians, entitled ‫كتاب عيون الأنباء قي طبقات الأطباء‬ (= The book of the sources of information concerning the various classes of physicians). It is especially full on the lives of Arab physicians. See the edition of A. Müller, Königsberg, 1884, vol. i, pp. 304-6.
