For translations of the Arabic biographies of Ibn Buṭlān in Ibn al-Qifṭī and Ibn Abī Uṣaybiʿa, see Joseph Schacht and Max Meyerhof, The Medico-Philosophical Controversy between Ibn Buṭlān of Baghdad and Ibn Riḍwān of Cairo: A Contribution to the History of Greek Learning among the Arabs (Cairo: Maktabat Būl Bar Bīh, 1937), 51–66 (for the date 440, see p. 53).	cache/alusur-14299.pdf	txt/alusur-14299.txt
