Hassan Bar Bahlul was a scholar of the Assyrian Church of the East who lived in Baghdad in the 10th century. Along with many other famous Assyrian scholars and physicians, Bar Bahlul participated in the intellectual movement which studied, preserved, translated and transmitted a large body of philosophical and medical knowledge. Because translation from Greek into Arabic via Syriac was a key process in this movement, lexicons soon became necessary aids. Bar Bahlul is best known for his massive Syriac Lexicon which provides definitions of difficult words in both Syriac and Arabic and often provides information about the sources of the definitions. The Lexicon was edited and published by Rubens Duval in Paris between 1886 and 1901. Volume I contains letters Alap to Lamad.
