معرفی
Gabriele Ferrario is a Senior Assistant Professor (fixed-term) in the Department of Philosophy at the University of Bologna, specializing in the History of Science and Technology (PHIL-02/B). His research focuses on medieval alchemy, Jewish scientific traditions, and the Cairo Genizah manuscripts. He examines intersections between religious practices, textual transmission, and material science in Islamicate and Jewish contexts.
Key research areas include: (1) alchemical manuscripts from the Cairo Genizah, (2) pseudo-attributed scientific texts (e.g., Pseudo-Rāzī), (3) Maimonides' medical writings, and (4) technical terminology in medieval scientific lexicons. His work bridges Arabic, Hebrew, and Latin sources to explore knowledge transmission across cultural and religious boundaries.
Recent publications analyze alchemical taxonomies, Judaeo-Arabic scientific texts, and the material culture of medieval medicine. His research highlights the role of Cairo Genizah manuscripts in reconstructing lost scientific traditions. Current projects include revising critical editions of alchemical texts and studying medical practices in medieval Egyptian Jewish communities.
