A book entitled 'Al-Wuslah Ilal-Habeeb fi Wasfil-Tayyibat wal-Teeb, 
attributed to Ibn al Adeem. Edited by Durrieh al Khatib and Sulaima Mahjoub. 
Published by the Institute for the History of Arabic Science, University of 
Aleppo, Aleppo, Syria. Volume one was published in 1987 and volume two in 
1988. In Arabic.

Volume one is a treatise on the History of Foods of the Arabs by Sulaima 
Mahjoub, and volume two is the complete text of the edited book with 
extensive indices by Durrieh al Khatib. The book lists approximately 550 
recipes for foods and drinks.

The question is, does anyone know if these works have been translated into 
English or if these works are being considered for translation? Since English 
has replaced Latin as the language of Academia, I find it hard to believe 
that such important works would be only available in Arabic.

Thanks in advance.
