It was far from a dark period in science for it was in this area, as well as in Arabic optics and chemistry, that experimental science first began to develop. This is shown by al-Samarqandi's work which describes many new drugs, chemical processes, and a more advanced pharmacological theory. No part of this work has ever before been brought to the notice of historians of medicine. For the first time, the authors give a complete translation of this Aqrâbōdhīn in order to present a complete picture of the pharmacological knowledge of the day. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThere is a comprehensive section of Notes and Comments with particular attention being drawn to the present-day usage of old Arabic drugs, the employment of the drugs in the much earlier al-Kindi Medical Formulary, and to the etymological discussion of Arabic plant names not studied in previous works on the subject. Finally there is a Glossary of Arabic-English terms and a selected Bibliography.","brand":"University of Pennsylvania Press Anniversary","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47615538036887,"sku":"9781512803914","price":12132.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781512803914.webp?v=1775101553","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-medical-formulary-of-al-samarqandi-and-the-relation-of-early-arabic-simples-to-those-found-in-the-indigenous-medicine-of-the-near-east-and-india-9781512803914","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
