Maimonides, medicine, athsma, soul, physicians. The treatise that Maimonides dedicated to asthma in 1190, originally titled in Arabic Maqālat fi-l-rabw, was written at the request of a noble patient who suffered from the disease. Thus, the Book of Asthma joins the group of medical works that the Jew from Cordoba wrote on commission, which also includes The Regimen of Health and the Treatise on the Cure of Hemorrhoids. It is a monographic study that was highly cited and admired in the three great cultural worldviews of the Middle Ages, namely Jewish, Muslim, and Christian, due to its rapid translation from Arabic into Hebrew and Latin. It consists of a Prologue and thirteen chapters in which diets and treatments are described. Chapters one to twelve attempt to regulate the patient's life and prevent the disease through indirect means. But in the thirteenth chapter, Maimonides deviates from the specific treatment of asthma and provides a series of recommendations for healing in general, in addition to undertaking a reflection on the ars medica not without criticism of the physicians of his time, whom he accuses of being ignorant for underestimating issues that Hippocrates and Galen had considered difficult. This conception of medicine presented by Rambam is underpinned by philosophical assumptions derived from Hippocratic and Galenic texts, which the Jewish physician notably reinterprets in light of the knowledge of his time. El tratado que Maimónides le dedicó al asma en 1190, y que lleva como título original en árabe Maqǎlat fi-l-rabw, fue escrito por encargo de un paciente noble que padecía la enfermedad. Así, el Libro del asma se une al grupo de las obras médicas que el judío de Córdoba escribió por encargo, integrado además por El régimen de la salud y el Tratado de la curación de las hemorroides. Se trata de un estudio monográfico que fue muy citado y admirado en las tres grandes cosmovisiones culturales de la Edad Media, a saber, la judía, la musulmana y la cristiana, debido a su rápida traducción del árabe al hebreo y al latín. Se compone de un Prólogo y de trece capítulos en los que se describen las dietas y tratamientos. Los capítulos uno a doce intentan ordenar la vida del paciente y prevenir la enfermedad por caminos indirectos. Pero, en el capítulo decimotercero, Maimónides se aparta del tratamiento específico del asma y aporta una serie de recomendaciones para la curación en general, además de emprender una reflexión sobre el ars medica, no exenta de crítica a los médicos de su tiempo a quienes acusa de ser ignorantes por subestimar cuestiones que Hipócrates y Galeno habían considerado difíciles. A esta concepción de la medicina que presenta Rambam le subyacen presupuestos filosóficos, que le llegan desde los textos hipocráticos y galénicos, y que el médico judío reinterpreta de manera notable a la luz de los conocimientos de su tiempo.
