Summary
Abbasid caliphate (750-1517C.E) was the golden age of Arab medicine in Arabic history. The second caliph Al-Mansur had encouraged the Nestorian physician for the translation of early Greek, Syriac and Persian works into Arabic in Bayt-ul-Hikmat (House of wisdom)[3] The translation took place under the guidance of Yuhanna-bin-Masawayh (d.857C.E) and later by his pupil Hunayn-Ibn-Ishaq (Johannitus) (d.873A.D.).[3]. Resources of IlmulAmraz during early Abbasid caliph (7th-9th C.E) up to the work of Al-Razi clearly described the clinical difference between the two contagious diseases (small pox and measles) on the basis of humorism[8,9]. This is an evident proof that he was notjust atranslatorin Abbasid caliph and contributed a lot in development of medicine[10]. Some of the resources encompassing the knowledge of Ilmul Amraz translated by Yuhanna-bin Masawayh, Hunayn-Ibn-Ishaq, Thabit- bin-Qurra, Qusta-bin Luqa, Rabban-al-Tabri and al-Rāzī are briefly introduced in this paper.TheTable 1highlights the brief information of the resources, its condition along with their corresponding author
