Stephen of Pisa
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Stephen of Pisa (Stephen of Antioch) was an Italian translator from Arabic active in Antioch and Southern Italy in the first part of the twelfth century. He was responsible for the translation of works of Islamic science, in particular medical works of Hali Abbas (the al-Kitab al-Maliki, by Ali Abbas al-Majusi), translated around 1127 into Latin as Liber regalis dispositionis.[1][2] This was the first full translation.[3], the earlier translation by Constantine the African as Pantegni being partial.
Initially from Pisa[4], he studied in Salerno.[5]
