“Al Orjoza fi Teb”, written by the philosopher and the Andalusian doctor Ibn Toufail, is a didactic medical poem that earns medical knowledge of his time in the form of worms and thus facilitates its memorable items and their transmission. This manuscript, which dates from the 12th century, is kept in the al-Quaraouiyine library (Fez, Morocco). It has 148 pages and comprises 7,700 verses. It is a real encyclopedia that classifies diseases that influence the human body
“Al-Qanun Fit-Tibb” (The Canon of Medicine, 4th Book) by Ibn Sina (Avicenna), whose rare copy is held in the National Library of Algeria, is one of the most influential medical works in history. This canon is an important work that the medical innORMs in the east and in the west have determined until the 17th century.
