HEALTH SCIENCES AND ISLAMIC HISTORY
Health Sciences in Early Islam - Volume 1
Collected Papers By: Sami K. Hamarneh
Edited By: Munawar A. Anees
Foreword By: Shaykh Fadhlalla Haeri
Health Sciences in Early Islam is a pioneering study of Islamic medicine that opens up new chapters of knowledge in the history of the healing sciences. This two volume work covers the development of Islamic medicine between the 6th and 12th centuries A.D. Transcending mere medical historiography, this publication offers a unique and authoritative account of the philosophy, history, methodology and practice of the Islamic health sciences.
This two-volume work provides an exceptional opportunity to scholars, researchers and students in such diverse areas as Islamic Studies, Middle Eastern Affairs, History of Medicine and Biomedical Education. It offers unique insight into the history of Islamic medical education, Arab medical historiography, biographies of eminent physicians, pharmacology, surgery, surgical instrumentation, therapeutics and preventive medicine.
This work was commissioned by Shaykh Fadhlalla Haeri on behalf of Zahra Publications to ensure the works of the eminent scholar Dr. Sami Hamarneh were saved for future reference. Dr. Munawar Anees edited and produced this landmark work . This is now made available in paperback for the first time.
