Ideally, as full a text edition as possible of the earliest Latin translation. I don't read Arabic, but I can figure out Latin and I want to establish whether the mention in the (sadly much abbreviated) Cerruti Tacuinum comes from the original or not. If it can be traced to the thirteenth (or even the eleventh) century, it is useful to me. If it was added by some fourteenth- or fifteenth-century physician, not so much.
