This book deals with medicine among the Arabs, and some of the biographies of prominent doctors who contributed to building the Arab medical heritage. It sheds brilliant light on the genius of the Arabs in the field of science, which is no less great and broad than their genius in the field of verbal or linguistic sciences.
The West derived some of the cultural components of the modern renaissance from the Arabs, and many scholars in the West recognized this, including the great scholar Gustave Le Bon, who demonstrated the superiority of Arab civilization over the West in many of his works.
The book in our hands has been discussed in detail by some Arab medical scholars, including Al-Razi and Ibn Sina. The book was a useful study worthy of publication and appreciation, and at the same time it is a historical record of the glories of the Arabs and their superiority over world civilizations.
