Al-Tasrif

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Al-Tasrif is an influential medieval treatise on medicine, written near the year 1000 CE by Abu al-Qasim (Abulcasis). The 30-volume work includes anatomical descriptions, classifications of diseases, and information on nutrition and surgery. In the western world, the book was known by the Latin title Concessio ei data qui componere haud valet. For five centuries, it was an important medical practice guide for doctors and surgeons.
