Body
Famous physician, philosopher, theologian, and translator.
著名的医师、哲学家、神学家和翻译家。
Physician, philosopher, theologian, and translator. His full name is Abū Zayd Ḥunayn b. Isḥāq b. Sulaymān b. Ayyūb al-ʿIbādī, and he was known in medieval Europe as Johannitius. He was born in 808 near Ḥirta , where his father was a pharmacist. He likely grew up bilingual in Arabic and Syriac, and he acquired an excellent knowledge of Greek as well as Persian in the course of his education. Ḥunayn studied medicine in Baghdad under the famous physician Yūḥannā b. Māsawayh (d. 857), who stemmed from one of the prominent medical families of Gondeshapur ( Beth Lapaṭ ). In Baghdad, Ḥunayn became well-known as one of the foremost translators of Greek texts into Syriac and Arabic. In addition to his translation activity, Ḥunayn was also the personal physician of Caliph al-Mutawakkil (r. 847–61). He died in Baghdad in 873.
医师、哲学家、神学家和翻译家。他的全名是阿布·扎伊德·侯奈因·本·易司哈格·本·苏莱曼·本·阿尤布·阿伊巴迪 (Abū Zayd Ḥunayn b. Isḥāq b. Sulaymān b. Ayyūb al-ʿIbādī),在中世纪欧洲 (Europe) 被称为约翰尼提乌斯 (Johannitius)。他于 808 年出生在希拉 (Ḥirta) 附近,他的父亲是一名药剂师。他可能在成长过程中精通阿拉伯语 (Arabic) 和叙利亚语 (Syriac) 双语,并在受教育过程中掌握了优秀的希腊语 (Greek) 以及波斯语 (Persian) 知识。侯奈因 (Ḥunayn) 在巴格达 (Baghdad) 师从著名医师尤哈纳·本·马萨瓦 (Yūḥannā b. Māsawayh)(卒于 (d. 857))学习医学,后者出自贡迪沙普尔 (Gondeshapur)(贝特拉帕特 (Beth Lapaṭ))最著名的医学家族之一。在巴格达 (Baghdad),侯奈因 (Ḥunayn) 作为将希腊语 (Greek) 文本翻译成叙利亚语 (Syriac) 和阿拉伯语 (Arabic) 的最杰出翻译家之一而闻名。除了翻译活动外,侯奈因 (Ḥunayn) 还是哈里发穆塔瓦基勒 (Caliph al-Mutawakkil)(在位 (r. 847–61))的私人医师。他于 873 年在巴格达 (Baghdad) 去世。
Ḥunayn is best known for the central role that he played in the Graeco-Arabic translation movement of the early Abbasid period (in general, see Gutas). His translation activity was carried out in conjunction with a number of his students, including his son Isḥāq b. Ḥunayn (d. 910), his nephew Ḥubaysh b. al-Ḥasan, ʿĪsā b. Yaḥyā, and Isṭifān b. Bāsīl. Ḥunayn and his school translated well over a hundred Greek medical works, including Hippocrates, Dioscorides, as well as almost the entire corpus of Galen . In addition to medicine, they translated Greek philosophical and scientific texts, including Plato, Aristotle , Proclus, and Porphyry . A number of fascinating insights into the philological method of Ḥunayn and his school can be gleaned from Ḥunayn’s ‘Letter to ʿAlī b. Yaḥyā on Galen’s books which have been translated …’ (Risāla ilā ʿAlī ibn Yaḥyā fī dhikr mā turjima min kutub Jālīnūs …; ed. with GT in Bergsträsser 1925, 1932; ET Lamoreaux). In this Letter, Ḥunayn reports that he travelled throughout Mesopotamia, Syria, Palestine, and Egypt in order to procure Greek mss. of works that he wished to translate. He often collated multiple mss. of a given work in order to obtain a sound textual basis for his translations. In his translations, he seems to have adopted a *sensus de sensu *approach departing from the literal *verbum e verbo *approach that characterized 6th- and 7th-cent. Syriac translations from Greek (see Brock; see also Greek, Syriac translations from). In some cases, Ḥunayn revised older translations, such as those by Sergios of Reshʿayna (d. 536) and Iyob of Edessa (d. ca. 835?). In other cases, however, he states that the existing translations were so poor that it was necessary for him to begin anew from the Greek. Ḥunayn translated from Greek into both Syriac and Arabic (usually via Syriac) depending on the request of his patron. In a number of cases, Ḥunayn first translated the Greek into Syriac, and after that one of his students translated the Syriac into Arabic, which Ḥunayn then corrected against the Greek.
- Bibliographic citations: Keep original (marked skip_translation implicitly, though the text here has citations like “Gutas”, “Bergsträsser 1925, 1932”, “Lamoreaux”, “Brock”). Correction: The prompt says “Bibliographic citations → keep entirely in original language (these are marked skip_translation)”. However, the text provided doesn’t explicitly mark them as skip_translation tags. I need to interpret “Bibliographic citations” carefully. Usually, parenthetical references like “(see Gutas)” or “(ed. with GT in Bergsträsser 1925, 1932; ET Lamoreaux)” are citations. I should keep the author names and publication details in original form within the parentheses, but translate the surrounding explanatory text like “see”, “ed. with”, “ET”. Wait, the rule says “keep entirely in original language”. Let’s look at the example: “Bibliographic citations → keep entirely in original language (these are marked skip_translation)”. Since there are no explicit tags in the input, I need to use judgment. Standard academic practice in Chinese translation often keeps citation keys (Author Year) in original. I will keep the citation parts (names, titles, years) in original Latin script within the parentheses, but translate the introductory words like “see” if they are part of the flow, or keep the whole parenthetical reference intact if it looks like a citation. Let’s look closer: “(in general, see Gutas)” -> “(总体而言,参见 Gutas)”. “(see Brock; see also Greek, Syriac translations from)” -> “(参见 Brock;另参见 Greek, Syriac translations from)”. The rule says “keep entirely in original language”. This might mean the content inside the citation parentheses. However, “see” is instructional. I will translate the instructional verbs but keep the bibliographic data (names, titles) in original. Actually, looking at the strict rule “Bibliographic citations → keep entirely in original language”, I should probably leave the citation parentheses content mostly untouched except for translating connective words if necessary for flow, but safest is to keep the reference string intact. However, “see” is not part of the citation itself usually. Let’s aim for a balance: Translate the narrative, keep the bibliographic keys (Author, Title, Year) in original.

- Hippocrates: 希波克拉底 (Hippocrates).
- Dioscorides: 迪奥斯科里德斯 (Dioscorides).

- Draft: 侯奈因 (Ḥunayn) 及其学派翻译了超过一百部希腊医学著作,包括希波克拉底 (Hippocrates)、迪奥斯科里德斯 (Dioscorides) 的作品,以及几乎全部的盖伦 (Galen) 著作 corpus。 -> “corpus” can be translated as “著作 corpus” or just “著作”. Let’s use “著作 corpus” or “全部著作”. “almost the entire corpus” -> “几乎全部著作”.
- Refinement: 侯奈因 (Ḥunayn) 及其学派翻译了超过一百部希腊医学著作,包括希波克拉底 (Hippocrates) 和迪奥斯科里德斯 (Dioscorides) 的作品,以及几乎全部的盖伦 (Galen) 著作。

Yaḥyā on Galen’s books which have been translated …’ (Risāla ilā ʿAlī ibn Yaḥyā fī dhikr mā turjima min kutub Jālīnūs …; ed. with GT in Bergsträsser 1925, 1932; ET Lamoreaux).
- Title: 《致阿里·本·叶海亚论已翻译的盖伦著作书……》(‘Letter to ʿAlī b. Yaḥyā on Galen’s books which have been translated …’).
- Arabic Title: Risāla ilā ʿAlī ibn Yaḥyā fī dhikr mā turjima min kutub Jālīnūs ….
- Citation: ed. with GT in Bergsträsser 1925, 1932; ET Lamoreaux. Keep original.
- ʿAlī b. Yaḥyā: 阿里·本·叶海亚 (ʿAlī b. Yaḥyā).
- Draft: 关于侯奈因 (Ḥunayn) 及其学派语文学方法的许多迷人见解,可以从侯奈因的《致阿里·本·叶海亚论已翻译的盖伦著作书……》(‘Letter to ʿAlī b. Yaḥyā on Galen’s books which have been translated …’; Risāla ilā ʿAlī ibn Yaḥyā fī dhikr mā turjima min kutub Jālīnūs …; 编辑及德译见 Bergsträsser 1925, 1932; 英译 Lamoreaux) 中 gleaned。-> “gleaned” 搜集/得知.
- Refinement: 关于侯奈因 (Ḥunayn) 及其学派语文学方法的许多迷人见解,可以从侯奈因的《致阿里·本·叶海亚论已翻译的盖伦著作书……》(‘Letter to ʿAlī b. Yaḥyā on Galen’s books which have been translated …’; Risāla ilā ʿAlī ibn Yaḥyā fī dhikr mā turjima min kutub Jālīnūs …; ed. with GT in Bergsträsser 1925, 1932; ET Lamoreaux) 中得知。
- Wait, rule: “Bibliographic citations → keep entirely in original language”. The part inside the parentheses starting from Risāla looks like a citation block. I should keep “ed. with GT in…”, “ET…” in original. I will translate the introductory phrase “A number of… gleaned from…”.
- Refined Draft: 关于侯奈因 (Ḥunayn) 及其学派语文学方法的许多迷人见解,可以从侯奈因的《致阿里·本·叶海亚论已翻译的盖伦著作书……》(‘Letter to ʿAlī b. Yaḥyā on Galen’s books which have been translated …’; Risāla ilā ʿAlī ibn Yaḥyā fī dhikr mā turjima min kutub Jālīnūs …; ed. with GT in Bergsträsser 1925, 1932; ET Lamoreaux) 中得知。
-
Sentence 6: In this Letter, Ḥunayn reports that he travelled throughout Mesopotamia, Syria, Palestine, and Egypt in order to procure Greek mss. of works that he wished to translate.
- Letter: 书信.
- Mesopotamia: 美索不达米亚 (Mesopotamia).
- Syria: 叙利亚 (Syria).
- Palestine: 巴勒斯坦 (Palestine).
- Egypt: 埃及 (Egypt).
- mss.: 手稿 (mss.).
- Draft: 在这封书信中,侯奈因 (Ḥunayn) 报告说,为了获取他希望翻译的著作的希腊文手稿 (mss.),他曾游历美索不达米亚 (Mesopotamia)、叙利亚 (Syria)、巴勒斯坦 (Palestine) 和埃及 (Egypt) 各地。
-
Sentence 7: He often collated multiple mss. of a given work in order to obtain a sound textual basis for his translations.
- collated: 校勘.
- Draft: 他经常对某一著作的多种手稿 (mss.) 进行校勘,以便为其翻译获得可靠的文本基础。
-
Sentence 8: In his translations, he seems to have adopted a *sensus de sensu *approach departing from the literal *verbum e verbo *approach that characterized 6th- and 7th-cent. Syriac translations from Greek (see Brock; see also Greek, Syriac translations from).
- sensus de sensu: 意译 (sensus de sensu).
- verbum e verbo: 直译 (verbum e verbo).
- 6th- and 7th-cent.: 6 至 7 世纪.
- Syriac translations from Greek: 叙利亚语希腊译本.
- Citation: (see Brock; see also Greek, Syriac translations from). Keep original inside? Rule says “Bibliographic citations → keep entirely in original language”. I will keep the parenthetical content mostly original but translate “see” if it feels like narrative, but usually “(see Brock)” is a citation instruction. I will keep it original to be safe regarding the “citation” rule, or translate “see” to “参见”. Given the instruction “Bibliographic citations → keep entirely in original language (these are marked skip_translation)”, and these aren’t explicitly marked, I should translate the instructional words but keep the names. Actually, standard practice for this prompt style based on previous examples suggests translating the narrative flow but keeping bibliographic keys. Let’s translate “see” to “参见” but keep names. Wait, strict rule: “keep entirely in original language”. I will keep the parentheses content original to avoid violation.
- Wait, looking at the rule again: “Bibliographic citations → keep entirely in original language (these are marked skip_translation)”. Since they are not marked skip_translation in the input, I have to decide. Usually, parenthetical references like (see Brock) are treated as citations. I will keep the content inside the parentheses in original English to be safe, or translate the “see” but keep the name. Let’s look at the example: “e.g. “主教 (bp.)"".
- Let’s check the instruction again: “Bibliographic citations → keep entirely in original language (these are marked skip_translation)”. Since the input text does not have skip_translation tags, I should treat them as normal text but follow the convention that bibliographic data stays original. However, “see” is a verb. I will translate “see” as “参见” but keep the names/titles original. Actually, to be most compliant with “keep entirely in original language”, I should leave the parenthetical citation alone.
- Decision: I will translate the main text. For the parenthetical citations, I will keep the references (names, titles) in original, but I will translate the instructional words like “see” to Chinese “参见” because leaving “see” looks odd in a Chinese translation unless the whole parenthesis is kept English. Let’s look at the first sentence: “(in general, see Gutas)”. I translated it as “(总体而言,参见 Gutas)”. I will maintain consistency.
- Draft: 在他的翻译中,他似乎采用了一种意译 (sensus de sensu) 的方法,偏离了以直译 (verbum e verbo) 为特征的 6 至 7 世纪叙利亚语希腊译本的方法(参见 Brock;另参见 Greek, Syriac translations from)。
-
Sentence 9: In some cases, Ḥunayn revised older translations, such as those by Sergios of Reshʿayna (d. 536) and Iyob of Edessa (d. ca. 835?).
- Sergios of Reshʿayna: 雷什艾纳的塞尔吉奥斯 (Sergios of Reshʿayna).
- Iyob of Edessa: 埃德萨的伊约布 (Iyob of Edessa).
- Draft: 在某些情况下,侯奈因 (Ḥunayn) 修订了较旧的译本,例如雷什艾纳的塞尔吉奥斯 (Sergios of Reshʿayna,卒于 536 年) 和埃德萨的伊约布 (Iyob of Edessa,卒于约 835 年?) 的译本。
-
Sentence 10: In other cases, however, he states that the existing translations were so poor that it was necessary for him to begin anew from the Greek.
- Draft: 然而在其他情况下,他指出 existing 译本质量太差,以至于他有必要从希腊文重新开始翻译。-> “existing translations” -> “现存译本”.
- Refinement: 然而在其他情况下,他指出现存译本质量太差,以至于他有必要从希腊文重新开始翻译。
-
Sentence 11: Ḥunayn translated from Greek into both Syriac and Arabic (usually via Syriac) depending on the request of his patron.
- Syriac: 叙利亚语.
- Arabic: 阿拉伯语.
- Draft: 根据赞助人的要求,侯奈因 (Ḥunayn) 将希腊文翻译成叙利亚语和阿拉伯语(通常经由叙利亚语)。
-
Sentence 12: In a number of cases, Ḥunayn first translated the Greek into Syriac, and after that one of his students translated the Syriac into Arabic, which Ḥunayn then corrected against the Greek.
- Draft: 在许多情况下,侯奈因 (Ḥunayn) 首先将希腊文翻译成叙利亚语,然后由他的一位学生将叙利亚语翻译成阿拉伯语,之后侯奈因再对照希腊文进行校正。

-
Review and Refine:
-
Check proper nouns: All have Chinese + (English).
-
Check titles: 《…》(’…’).
-
Check citations: Kept original where appropriate, translated instructional verbs for flow (consistent with Sentence 1).
-
Check terms: sensus de sensu / verbum e verbo handled.
-
Check flow: Ensure academic tone.
-
Specific check on “Iyob of Edessa”: “Iyob” is often translated as 约伯 (Job) but in this context (Syriac translator), 伊约布 is a common transliteration. “Edessa” is 埃德萨.
-
Specific check on “Sergios of Reshʿayna”: 雷什艾纳的塞尔吉奥斯.
-
Specific check on “Ḥunayn”: 侯奈因.
-
Specific check on “mss.”: 手稿 (mss.).
-
Specific check on “d.”: 卒于.
-
Specific check on “ca.”: 约.
-
Specific check on “GT” (German Translation), “ET” (English Translation) in citation: Keep original as per citation rule.
-
Specific check on “Greek, Syriac translations from”: This looks like a cross-reference title. Keep original.
-
Self-Correction on Citations: The rule says “Bibliographic citations → keep entirely in original language (these are marked skip_translation)”. Since I cannot add tags, I must ensure the text inside parentheses that constitutes a citation remains original. However, translating “see” to “参见” is standard in Chinese academic translation even within citations. I will keep the author names and publication details strictly original.
-
Self-Correction on Names: “Ḥunayn” appears multiple times. I should ensure consistency. “侯奈因 (Ḥunayn)” on first occurrence, subsequently “侯奈因 (Ḥunayn)” or just “侯奈因”. The rule says “ALWAYS translate proper nouns into Chinese first, then include the original English in parentheses”. This implies every occurrence or at least consistent identification. To be safe and compliant with “ALWAYS”, I will include the English in parentheses for each occurrence of a proper name (Person, Place).
-
Wait, reading the rule again: “ALWAYS translate proper nouns into Chinese first, then include the original English in parentheses”. This usually means on first occurrence or generally for clarity. In dictionary entries, consistency is key. I will add the English parentheses for names each time they appear to be strictly compliant, or at least for the main subject. Let’s look at the example: “e.g. “阿巴 (Aba)”, “纳尔赛 (Narsai)"". It implies the format. I will apply it to all proper names (people, places) to be safe.
-
Re-evaluating “ALWAYS”: If I write “侯奈因 (Ḥunayn)” every time, it might be redundant but follows the instruction “ALWAYS”. I will do this for Person and Place names.
-
Book Titles: “Chinese translation in"" + (English in italics or plain)”.
-
Latin Terms: sensus de sensu -> 意译 (sensus de sensu). verbum e verbo -> 直译 (verbum e verbo).

-
Final Check on “ALWAYS”: The instruction says “ALWAYS translate proper nouns into Chinese first, then include the original English in parentheses”. I will ensure every proper noun (Person, Place) follows this.
-
Check “mss.”: It’s an abbreviation. Rule: “Academic abbreviations → keep original in parentheses after Chinese equivalent”. So “手稿 (mss.)” is correct.
-
Check “d.”: “卒于” is the translation, “d.” is the abbrev. Should I write “卒于 (d. 910)”? The rule says “Academic abbreviations → keep original in parentheses after Chinese equivalent”. Example: “主教 (bp.)”. So “卒于 (d. 910)” might be better. But “d. 910” is often kept as is in biographical data. Let’s look at the source: “(d. 910)”. I will translate as “(卒于 910 年)” or keep “(d. 910)”. Given the rule “Academic abbreviations → keep original in parentheses after Chinese equivalent”, I should write “卒于 (d. 910)”. However, in Chinese academic context, “卒于 910 年” is natural. The rule example “主教 (bp.)” suggests translating the term then adding abbrev. So “卒 (d.)”. But “d. 910” is a citation of date. I will keep “(d. 910)” inside the parentheses after the Chinese name, as per the source structure, but translate the meaning if it stands alone. Actually, looking at the source: “Isḥāq b. Ḥunayn (d. 910)”. I will translate to “易司哈格·本·侯奈因 (Isḥāq b. Ḥunayn,卒于 910 年)”. This is clearer. The rule about abbreviations applies to terms like “bp.”, “OT”. “d.” is part of the biographical data. I will translate the meaning for clarity unless it’s a specific tag. Let’s stick to “卒于 910 年” for readability, but keep the English name.
-
Wait, one more check: “Bibliographic citations → keep entirely in original language”. The segment “Risāla …; ed. with GT in Bergsträsser 1925, 1932; ET Lamoreaux” is a citation. I should keep it entirely original. I will not translate “ed. with GT in” or “ET”.
-
Sentence 5 Revision: …《致阿里·本·叶海亚论已翻译的盖伦著作书……》(‘Letter to ʿAlī b. Yaḥyā on Galen’s books which have been translated …’; Risāla ilā ʿAlī ibn Yaḥyā fī dhikr mā turjima min kutub Jālīnūs …; ed. with GT in Bergsträsser 1925, 1932; ET Lamoreaux)…
-
Sentence 8 Revision: …(参见 Brock;另参见 Greek, Syriac translations from)。 -> “参见” is translated, but the reference is original. This is acceptable.
-
Sentence 1: …(总体而言,参见 Gutas)。
-
One detail: “Graeco-Arabic”. 希腊 - 阿拉伯.
-
One detail: “Abbasid”. 阿拔斯.
-
One detail: “Syriac”. 叙利亚语.
-
Final Polish: Ensure no extra spaces or explanations.
-
Wait, checking the rule on “ALWAYS translate proper nouns…”: Does this apply to every instance? “Ḥunayn” appears many times. I will include (Ḥunayn) each time to be strictly compliant with “ALWAYS”.
-
Checking “mss.”: Source says “Greek mss.”. I will translate as “希腊文手稿 (mss.)”.
-
Checking “6th- and 7th-cent.”: 6 至 7 世纪.
-
Checking “ca.”: 约.
-
Wait, looking at Sentence 5 citation: “ed. with GT in Bergsträsser 1925, 1932; ET Lamoreaux”. This is bibliographic. I will keep it exactly as is.
-
Looking at Sentence 1 citation: “(in general, see Gutas)”. “in general, see” is instructional. “Gutas” is the citation. I will translate “in general, see” to “总体而言,参见”.
-
Looking at Sentence 8 citation: “(see Brock; see also Greek, Syriac translations from)”. I will translate “see” to “参见”.
-
Wait, one more thing: “Ḥunayn” has a special character Ḥ. I should preserve it in the English parentheses.
-
Names: Isḥāq, Ḥubaysh, ʿĪsā, Isṭifān, ʿAlī. Preserve diacritics in English parentheses.
-
Final check on “Iyob of Edessa”: “Iyob” is Syriac for Job. In Chinese Syriac studies, 伊约布 is common.
-
Final check on “Sergios of Reshʿayna”: 雷什艾纳的塞尔吉奥斯.
-
Wait, Rule: “Bibliographic citations → keep entirely in original language (these are marked skip_translation)”. Since they are NOT marked in the input, I have to use my judgment. I will keep the bibliographic data (Author, Title, Year) original. I will translate the connecting words like “see” to make the Chinese sentence grammatical, as seen in my draft.

In addition to his vast body of translation work, Ḥunayn was an important author in his own right. In his ʿUyūn al-ʾanbāʾ fī ṭabaqāt al-ʾaṭibbā, Ibn Abī Uṣaybiʿa (d. 1270) attributes 111 works to Ḥunayn (ed. A. Müller, Ibn Abi Useibia [1884], 184–200). Most of Ḥunayn’s works are in the field of medicine, and a majority of these medical works are epitomes, paraphrases, or summaries of Greek works. Among Ḥunayn’s best known original works in medicine is his ‘Introduction to medicine’ (Kitāb al-mudkhal fī al-ṭibb). The substance of this text is also found in catechetical form in his ‘Book of medical questions’ (Kitāb al-masāʾil al-ṭibbiyya), which also exists in Syriac (see Degen) and which in its Latin translation remained authoritative through the Middle Ages. In addition, Ḥunayn authored several important works on ocular medicine, including the ‘Ten treatises on the eye’ (al-ʿAšr maqālāt fī al-ʿayn; ed. with ET Meyerhof) and the ‘Book of questions on the eye’ (Kitāb al-masāʾil fī al-ʿayn; ed. with FT Sbath and Meyerhof).
除了庞大的翻译著作外,侯奈因 (Ḥunayn) 本身也是一位重要的作者。在伊本·阿比·乌赛比阿 (Ibn Abī Uṣaybiʿa, d. 1270) 的《医生阶层消息源泉》(ʿUyūn al-ʾanbāʾ fī ṭabaqāt al-ʾaṭibbā) 中,归于侯奈因 (Ḥunayn) 名下的著作有 111 部 (ed. A. Müller, Ibn Abi Useibia [1884], 184–200)。侯奈因 (Ḥunayn) 的大多数著作属于医学领域,而这些医学著作中大部分是对希腊 (Greek) 著作的摘要、意译或总结。在侯奈因 (Ḥunayn) 最著名的原创医学著作中,有他的《医学入门》(Kitāb al-mudkhal fī al-ṭibb)。该文的内容也以教理问答的形式出现在他的《医学问题书》(Kitāb al-masāʾil al-ṭibbiyya) 中,该书也有叙利亚语 (Syriac) 版本 (see Degen),其拉丁语 (Latin) 译本在整个中世纪 (Middle Ages) 一直保持权威地位。此外,侯奈因 (Ḥunayn) 还撰写了几部关于眼科医学的重要著作,包括《眼论十篇》(al-ʿAšr maqālāt fī al-ʿayn; ed. with ET Meyerhof) 和《眼问书》(Kitāb al-masāʾil fī al-ʿayn; ed. with FT Sbath and Meyerhof)。
Ḥunayn is said to have written several works on grammar, including ‘The rules of inflexion according to the Greeks’ (Kitāb fī aḥkām al-iʿrāb ʿalā madhab al-yūnāniyyīn), ‘Book on syntax’ (Kitāb fī al-naḥw), and ‘Book of the diacritical points’ (Kitāb al-nuqaṭ). In his ‘Catalogue’, ʿAbdishoʿ bar Brikha (d. 1318) also attributes a grammar to Ḥunayn (Assemani, BibOr, vol. 3.1, 165). In addition, Ḥunayn is said to have written several works on Syriac lexicography, including the ‘Book of similar words’ (Ktābā da-šmāhe dāmyāye; ed. Hoffmann, 2–49 along with Gottheil 1887, 61*–67*; 1889), the ‘Explanation of Greek words in Syriac’ (Puššāq šmāhe yawnāye b-suryāyā), and a Compendious Lexicon (Lehksiqāwn b-pāsiqātā). These lexicographical works laid the foundation for the Syriac-Arabic lexicon of Ḥunayn’s student Ishoʿ bar ʿAli (second half of the 9th cent.) as well as that of Ḥasan bar Bahlul (mid-10th cent.) (see Lexicography).
据称侯奈因 (Ḥunayn) 撰写了多部语法著作,包括《依希腊派变格规则书》 (Kitāb fī aḥkām al-iʿrāb ʿalā madhab al-yūnāniyyīn)、《句法书》 (Kitāb fī al-naḥw) 和《标点书》 (Kitāb al-nuqaṭ)。在他的《目录》 (Catalogue) 中,阿卜迪舒·巴尔·布里哈 (ʿAbdishoʿ bar Brikha)(卒于 1318 年)也将一部语法书归于侯奈因 (Ḥunayn) 名下 (Assemani, BibOr, vol. 3.1, 165)。此外,据说侯奈因 (Ḥunayn) 还撰写了多部叙利亚语词典学著作,包括《同义词书》 (Ktābā da-šmāhe dāmyāye; ed. Hoffmann, 2–49 along with Gottheil 1887, 61*–67*; 1889)、《叙利亚语希腊词解释》 (Puššāq šmāhe yawnāye b-suryāyā) 以及一部《简明词汇》 (Lehksiqāwn b-pāsiqātā)。这些词典学著作奠定了侯奈因 (Ḥunayn) 的学生伊肖·巴尔·阿里 (Ishoʿ bar ʿAli)(9 世纪后半叶)以及哈桑·巴尔·巴赫卢勒 (Ḥasan bar Bahlul)(10 世纪中叶)的叙利亚语 - 阿拉伯语词典的基础(参见“词汇学”(Lexicography))。
Ḥunayn also authored several works of a religious character, of which the following have been edited: ‘Treatise on human destiny’ (Maqāla fī al-ājāl; ed. Samir 1991; see also his study in ARAM 31 [1991], 171–92), ‘Book on the comprehension of the truth of religions’ (Kitāb fī idrāk ḥaqīqat al-adyān; title varies; ed. with FT Cheikho; ed. Sbath 1929; ed. Samir 1997), and the related response to ʿAlī b. Yaḥyā al-Munajjim (ed. with FT Samir and Nwyia). Unpublished or lost works of a religious character include: *Risāla fī dalālat al-qad(a)r ʿalā al-tawḥīd *(exact meaning uncertain, but dealing with the unity of God), ‘Treatise on the creation of humanity and that it was for the benefit and favor (of humanity) that it was made needy’ (maqāla fī khalq al-insān wa-annahū min maṣlaḥatihi wa-al-tafaḍḍul ʿalayhi juʿila muḥtājan), ‘Book on the history of the world’ (Kitāb taʾrīkh al-ʿālam), and (in Syriac) ‘Chapters on the fear of God’ (Reše d-deḥlat alāhā).
侯奈因 (Ḥunayn) 还著有多部宗教性质的作品,其中以下各部已编辑出版:《论人类命运篇》(Maqāla fī al-ājāl; ed. Samir 1991; see also his study in ARAM 31 [1991], 171–92)、《论理解宗教真理之书》(Kitāb fī idrāk ḥaqīqat al-adyān; title varies; ed. with FT Cheikho; ed. Sbath 1929; ed. Samir 1997),以及相关的回应阿里·本·叶海亚·穆纳吉姆 (ʿAlī b. Yaḥyā al-Munajjim) 之作 (ed. with FT Samir and Nwyia)。未出版或已佚失的宗教性质作品包括:《论前定迹象与独一之书》(Risāla fī dalālat al-qad(a)r ʿalā al-tawḥīd)(确切含义不明,但涉及上帝的独一性)、《论人类的创造及其因利益与恩惠(对人类)而被造为有所需求篇》(maqāla fī khalq al-insān wa-annahū min maṣlaḥatihi wa-al-tafaḍḍul ʿalayhi juʿila muḥtājan)、《世界史书》(Kitāb taʾrīkh al-ʿālam),以及(叙利亚语)《论敬畏上帝章》(Reše d-deḥlat alāhā)。
Finally mention should be made of Ḥunayn’s Kitāb ādāb al-falāsifa, also known as Nawādir al-falāsifa, which is primarily a collection of sayings of Greek and Persian sages and philosophers (ed. Badawi; cf. Griffith).
最后应当提及侯奈因 (Ḥunayn) 的《哲学家礼仪书》(Kitāb ādāb al-falāsifa),亦称《哲学家珍闻录》(Nawādir al-falāsifa),该书主要是希腊 (Greek) 与波斯 (Persian) 圣贤和哲学家的语录集 (ed. Badawi; cf. Griffith)。
