| ABOUT MANUSCRIPT : | Qarabadin Shifayi is a renowned work on Unani pharmacopoeia, and the author gained significant fame from its composition in 1556. The book, named after its author, is a popular treatise widely used as a source of materia medica, primarily focusing on compound medicaments. It is notable for its alphabetical arrangement of compound drugs based on their preparation, making it an essential reference in Unani medicine. The book's significance extends beyond the Unani tradition, as it formed the basis of Pharmacopeia Persica, compiled by Father Angelus, a Jesuit priest and the first European to study Persian medicine. Additionally, Abul Fazl mentioned the author in the list of physicians in Emperor Akbar’s court.The importance of Qarabadin Shifai became more widely recognized within the European scientific community when it was first translated into Latin and published in Paris in 1681 by Angedusen Joseph, an orientalist from Toulouse. Following the initial translation, Hakim Anjdusen added hs own experiences and studies to the text, further enhancing it, and published an updated version in Amsterdam. | ||
