alusur-6792	Sánchez, Ignacio	Hans-Peter Pökel, Der unmännliche Mann: Zur Figuration des Eunuchen im Werk von al-Ǧāḥiẓ (gest. 869)	2019	4	.pdf	application/pdf	1884	62	49	The reception of the Aristotelian Problemata by al-Jāḥiẓ and, in general, by the Basran Muʿtazila is a complicated matter that awaits further research, but I cannot help but wonder whether many of the notions and argumentations that we can read in the K. al-Ḥayawān might not have come, in fact, from this tradition. Pökel provides here a detailed discussion of the castration techniques that al-Jāḥiẓ describes in intricate detail in his K. al-Ḥayawān and that might involve surgical excision (khiṣāʾ, gonadectomy, and jibāb, penectomy) or contusions that result in testicular atrophy (wijāʾ, the Latin ablatio).	cache/alusur-6792.pdf	txt/alusur-6792.txt
