This book - from Garnet Publishing's series Great Books of Islamic Civilization - was written in the early 11th century by a physician who was also the author of a treatise on philosophy and was famous for his Arabic poetry. For a medieval work - as an introduction to medicine intended for students - Ibn Hindu's book is refreshingly meticulous in its analysis and is modern in its outlook. Ibn Hindu (d. 423/1032) discusses various disciplines that a medical student should have been familiar with, including a lengthy digression into philosophy and logic. He then deals with matters specifically medical, devoting separate sections to anatomy, diseases, pulse, and names of medicinal substances.

Her doctoral thesis focussed on a 12th-century manuscript about famous women in early Islam, with the Arabic text published by al-Dar al-'arabiyya li'l-kitab (Libya/Tunisia) in 1978 under the title al-Hada'iq al-Ghanna' fi akhbar al-nisa'. She served as Lecturer in Arabic and Islamic History at the University of Tripoli, Libya, and is now living in Oxford with her husband, Dr Amin Tibi.
