Abdullah Bin Anis, An Uncelebrated Physician of the 7th Century

Journal Title: Journal of Research on History of Medicine - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 1

Abstract

One well-cited assertion in the literature is a lack of data about health, physicians and their lives in Arabian Peninsula in the 7th century, which is expected due to deficiency of original resources from that time. Previous studies identified only three physicians without remarkable data about their lives. This article introduces Abdullah bin Anis, a new physician who was unknown previously and presented novel information about medicine and its practice in Prophet Muhammad’s time (ca 609).
