- Abū Marwān ʿAbd al-Malik ibn Zuhr . Known in Latin as Avenzoar, Ibn Zuhr was the most accomplished clinical physician of the Western Islamic world. His Kitāb al-Taysīr fī al-Mudāwāt wa-l-Tadbīr (Book of Simplification on Therapy and Regimen), written at the request of his friend Ibn Rushd, became, in Latin translation, a standard medical text in European universities for four centuries. He described pericarditis, mediastinal abscesses, and was the first to advocate experimentation on animals before applying treatment to humans.
