| ABOUT MANUSCRIPT : | Mīzānal-Ṭibb (The Measure of Medicine) is a popular medical work written by Muhammad Akbar Arzani (d. 1772). In the introduction Arzani states that his purpose in composing this text was to serve destitute students who desired to study medicine as did others of greater means. The clarity of Arzani's text and its abridged but comprehensive nature likely contributed to its becoming the principal work to be mastered by beginning medical students from the 18th century onwards. The work is written in three sections: the first on the four qualities, i.e., heat, cold, moistness, and dryness): the second on the simple and compound drugs and food); and the third on diseases and their cures. The major part of the book is taken up by the third section, which is divided into chapters that primarily deal with treating diseases of individual organs. Also included in this section are diseases specific to women and men and sections on fevers and swellings. The present volume concludes with shorter ta tises by other authors on the pulse and urine.Muhammad Akbar Arzānī was an influential Mughal physician famous throughout Iran and South Asia. His reputation is considered from contemporary accounts of his importance within the broader scholarship in South Asian culture and history. Scholars differ on whether Arzani was born in Persia or India, but he is generally considered the first physician of the Mughal Empire to systematically translate Arabic medical works into Persian. His medical texts enjoyed great popularity in India and Persia and served as instructional texts for medical students throughout these lands. It is also known that Arzani was a Sufi and that he belonged to the Qadiriyya order | ||
