Ibn
al-Kattani (951–1029),
The Treatment of Dangerous Diseases Appearing
Superficially on the Body by Abī ‘Abd Allāh
Muḥammad ibn ḥasan Ibn al-Kattānī.
Abu Abd Allah Muhammad ibn al-Husayn Ibn al-Kattani (951–1029), sometimes nicknamed "al-Mutatabbib" (the physician), was a well-known Moorish scholar, philosopher, physician, astrologer, man of letters, and
poet.
Born
in Córdoba in what is now Spain, he wrote books on logic,
inference and deduction. For some time he was the personal physician ofAl-Mansur Ibn Abi Aamir, sultan of al-Andalus,
and wrote The Treatment of
Dangerous Diseases Appearing Superficially on the Body(Mu`alajat al-amrad al-khatirah al-badiyah
`ala al-badan min kharij). It was cited by later writers, but thought to be
now lost, until a copy of it was discovered among the manuscripts now at the
National Library of Medicine. Much of the treatise is on the subject of
poisonous bites.[1]
Al-Kattani
also wrote an anthology of Andalusian poetry, and became especially famous by his
book on metaphor in Andalusian poetry.
