This volume collects several woks on medecine, being the first that of 'Abu Zakariyya' Yuhanna Ibn Masawayh, known as Mesue Yuhanna Ibn Masawayh (C.777-857), one of the great name of Islamic medicine. He was personal physician to the abbasid Caliphs al-Ma'mun, al-Mutasim, al-Wathiq and al-Mutawakkil, and spent most of his life in baghdad and Samarra. He contributed to the translating activities of the famous Bayt al-Hikma; and Hunayn ibn Ishaq, the most influential of the traslators of Greek scientific texts, was his pupil. Despite his distinction, much of Ibn Masawayh's writing has not reached us. Just a handful of his text are extant in Arabic. More has been preserved in Latin Translation, though the attribution of some text to an elder as opposed to a younger Mesue has given the false impression thar there was more than one Ibn Masawayh. It is followed by a well-known work by Francisco de Pedemontium and the Antidotarium of Nicolaus Salernitarum. The last work on medecine is from Abulkasim.
