Firdususl Hikmat.pdf
فردوس الحکمت Firdausu'l-Hikmat or Paradise of wisdom was authored byIBN SAHL RABBAN AL-TABARI, Abu al-Hasan Ali (علی ابن سهل ربان طبری ) (circa 838 - circa 870) Firdous al-Hikmah is one of the oldest encyclopedias of Islamic medicine, based on Syriac translations of Greek sources (Hippocrates, Galen Dioscorides, and others). It is divided into 7 sections and 30 parts, with 360 chapters in total. The work was eclipsed by those of Rabban al-Tabari's more famous pupil, Muhammad ibn ZakarÄ«a RÄzi (Rhazes). After writing the work in Arabic Rabban a-Tabari also translated it into Syriac, to give it wider usefulness. However, the information in Firdous al-Hikmah never entered common circulation in the West because it was not edited until the 20th century, when Mohammed Zubair Siddiqui assembled an edition using the five surviving partial manuscripts.
