رسالة في النباتات بقلم ديوسقوريدس

The Greek physician Dioscorides lived in the first century AD during the reign of the Emperor Nero. Dioscorides’s five-volume treatise Perì üles iatrichès, commonly known in Latin as De materia medica (Of medical substances), is considered the most important medical manual and pharmacopeia of ancient Greece and Rome.  It covers the therapeutic effectiveness of natural Pharmaceutical substances of animal, vegetable, and mineral origin. The manuscript presented here preserves fragments of an Arabic translation of Dioscorides’s work.  The first Arabic translation was made by Istafan ibn Basil (Stephanos Basilos) and enhanced by his famed mentor Hunayn ibn Ishaq al-ʻIbadi (circa 809–73).
