The history of pre-modern Arabic medicine remains shrouded in mystery, not because we lack sources, but because the majority of these sources have been neither edited nor studied. It is these sources that form the basis of the articles published in this book. These articles deal, among other things, with the transfer of medical knowledge and the construction of Arabic medicine from Greek, Indian, and Persian sources translated into Arabic, and with the modifications made to past medical knowledge.
