| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Medicine and Canon Law |
| | In the early centuries the practice of medicine by clerics, whether secular or regular, was not treated with disapproval by the Church, nor was it at all uncommon for them to devote a considerable part of their time to the medical avocation. | | | Particularly as regards clerics, this irregularity is declared to be incurred by regulars who have received tonsure and by seculars in sacred orders who practise medicine in a forbidden manner, with burning and cutting, and thereby bring about a fatal result. | | | The Sacred Congregations have on several occasions granted permission to priests to make and distribute medical confections, and allowed priests who had formerly been physicians to practise the art, but with the clause "gratis and through love of God towards all and on account of the absence of other physicians". |

| | Arabian medicine must be understood as synonymous with Arabic Medicine, as the language of the learned in the Islamic World was Arabic, much the same way as Latin was in the Christian world. | | | Avicenna and Rhazes were used in the teaching of medicine also in the 16 th century 14. | | | Several famous Indian professors of medicine were resident in Baghdad during the reign of the Caliph Harun al-Rashid (known to many from the ‘Arabian Nights'). |

| | Introduction to Islam |
| | At first the great physicians among Muslims were mostly Christian but by the 9th century Islamic medicine, properly speaking, was born with the appearance of the major compendium, The Paradise of Wisdom (Firdaws al-hikmah) by 'Ali ibn Rabban al-Tabari, who synthesized the Hippocratic and Galenic traditions of medicine with those of India and Persia. | | | Islamic medicine continued in Persia and the other eastern lands of the Islamic world under the influence of Ibn Sina with the appearance of major Persian medical compendia such as the Treasury of Sharaf al-Din al-Jurjani and the commentaries upon the Canon by Fakhr al-Din al-Razi and Qutb al Din al-Shirazi. | | | His Kitab al-hawi (Continens) is the longest work ever written in Islamic medicine and he was recognized as a medical authority in the West up to the 18th century. |

| | Islamic Medicine in its true context, can thus be defined as a body of knowledge of Medicine that was inherited by the Muslims in the early phase of Islamic History (40-247 AH/661 -861 AD) from mostly Greek sources, but to which became added medical knowledge from, Persia, Syria, India and Byzantine. | | | This type of Medicine thus is included in his biographies, just as are other multitudinous of matters of sociological importance like the natural life and customs of the Arabs, but forms no part of religion of Islam to be practiced in the same way.’ | | | In order to understand the milieu in which Islamic medicine was born, one has to understand the salient events in the advent of Islam and a few events just preceding the Islamic era. |

| | Avicenna begins The Canon with a definition of the science of medicine: Medicine (tibb) is the science by which we learn the various states of the human body in health and when not in health, and the means by which health is likely to be lost, and when lost, is likely to be restored. | | | The phenomena of the external world and, in traditional medicine, the inner world, also consist of the elements and their qualities. | | | It is worth remembering that when a medicine is referred to as being temperate (balanced - Avicenna), it does not mean that its temperament is the same as of a human being, or that it is even similar to it, for it would then be like a human being. |
