Guide to Owning a Staffordshire Bull Terrier by Marion S Lane

This book offers an annotated English translation of one of the earliest dispensatories ever written in the Arabic language, viz. the small version of the Aqrābāḏīn composed by the Nestorian physician Sābūr ibn Sahl (d. 869 CE). The translation is based on the edition of the Arabic text as published in volume 16 of the IPTS series, which in turn is based on the oldest handwritten witness of Arabic pharmacy known so far. The translation is framed by a detailed introductory study of the subject, and by various glossaries which make this important source text accessible from both the Arabic and the English side. The book thus marks the first serious attempt at fully translating an early Arabic dispensatory into a modern Western language.

Marion Lane is a dog-obsessed twenty-year veteran writer and editor. Her great expertise of purebred dogs was gained during her eleven years as the editor of the AKC Gazette at the American Kennel Club in New York City. Lane has penned dozens of articles and four books about dogs to far. She trained her Yorkie in obedience and studied at the International School of Dog Grooming while at the AKC, and went on to work as a professional groomer afterward. Lane was the editor of Animal Watch magazine, the official publication of the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, until it closed in October 2004.

She has spent several years volunteering one day a week at her local veterinary hospital, where many Yorkshire Terriers are treated. Two dogs, three cats, and a bunny are among her current animal pals.
