The original Arabic text of Maimonides' major medical work, his Medical Aphorisms, has recently been critically edited and translated into English by Gerrit Bos (2004-17). The editor now offers a critical edition of the medieval Hebrew translation by R. Zeraḥyah ben Isaac ben Sheʾaltiel Ḥen, who was active as a translator in Rome in the years 1277-91, where he--apart from Maimonides' medical works--also translated medical works by Galen and Ibn Sīnā, and also philosophical works by Aristotle and Averroes. Zeraḥyah's unique translation, which adheres closely to Maimonides' Arabic text and also uses many Italian and Latin loanwords, has not been edited so far, unlike the only other known medieval Hebrew translation by Nathan ha-Meʾati.
