Abstract:

The lore of the supposed magic and medical virtue of stones goes back to the 
Babylonians and peaks out in the lapidary literature of the Middle Ages. The 
famous work of Marbode of Rennes, which made lapidaries a very popular type 
of medieval scientific literature, was translated into numerous vernacular 
languages. The Jewish tradition, missing a particular lapidary literature of its 
own, absorbed non-Jewish works like that of Marbode. Several Anglo-Norman 
Marbode translations could be identified as the main source of the present 
edited Hebrew lapidary Ko'a? ha-Avanim, written by Berakhyah Ben Natronai ha-
Nakdan around 1300. The edition is accompanied by an English translation, a 
source study, and a linguistic analysis of the Romance, mostly Anglo-Norman, 
terms featuring within the text in Hebrew spelling.
