Journal of Semitic Studies logo Oxford University Press logo

The Journal of Semitic Studies was established in 1955 and since then has built up a reputation as one of the leading international academic journals in its field. Semitic Studies has always been understood by the editors to include the modern as well as the ancient Near (Middle) East, with special emphasis on research into the languages and literatures of the area. The editors continue to maintain the policy of ensuring that each volume contains items of interest to Orientalists and Biblical Scholars. Extensive reviews of selected books, as well as general review notices, remain a feature of the Journal.

The Journal of Semitic Studies publishes a Supplement series of books. The aim in this series is to provide an opportunity for publication of more substantial works of monograph length and for collective works on particular themes.

Syrups from the Apothecary's Shop: a Genizah Fragment Containing one of the Earliest Manuscripts of Minhāj Al-Dukkān*We would like to thank the following for their generous help: the staff of the Taylor-Schechter Genizah Research Unit at Cambridge University Library, and in particular its Director, Professor Stefan Reif, and the Senior Research Associate Dr Avi Shivtiel, who helped us interpret some particularly difficult sections of the manuscript; Dr Nikolaj Serikoff of the Wellcome Library for the History of Medicine, London, who introduced us to pace tables. The research and writing of this article was enabled by L. Chipman being the recipient of the 2004 S.D. Goitein Memorial Prize and E. Lev being granted an Overseas Visiting Scholarship at St. John's College, Cambridge, for the 2003-4 academic year.
