When the tenth-century "K?mil as-sin?'a (or "al-Kit?b al-malak?) of 'Al? ibn al-'Abb's al-Ma??s? was adapted for a Latin-reading audience by Constantine the African in the late eleventh century, the medieval West had, for the first time, the opportunity to use a text which covered the whole of medicine.
