Item description from seller

Print on Demand. This book explores the life and work of Albucasis, a renowned Spanish Moorish surgeon who practiced in the 11th century. The author delves into the historical context of medicine and surgery during Albucasis' time, highlighting the significant role of Arabian medicine in the development of medical knowledge in the West. The book provides detailed analysis of Albucasis's surgical techniques, drawing upon his own writings and those of his contemporaries, including Paulus Aegina and Rhazes. The author examines the evolution of surgical practices, highlighting Albucasis's contributions to fields such as ophthalmology, dentistry, and the treatment of fractures and dislocations. The book also explores Albucasis's views on the importance of anatomy in surgery, providing insights into the state of anatomical knowledge in the medieval period. The author meticulously examines Albucasis's work on the use of cauterization, a common practice in Arabian medicine, and details the various surgical instruments that Albucasis employed and described, offering a glimpse into the tools of the surgical trade in the past. The book's insights reveal the depth of knowledge and sophistication of Arabian surgery and its lasting influence on medical practices. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
