The Physicians of Syria During the Reign of Salah Al-Din 570-589 A.H. 1174-1193 A.D The Physicians of Syria during the Reign of Salah Al-Din 570-589 A.H. 1174-1193 A.D. SAMIRA JADON Downloaded from https://academic.oup.com/jhmas/article/XXV/3/323/767826 by guest on 01 October 2021 [CCORDING to available information, physicians in Syria during the reign of §alah al-DIn can be divided into several groups: the physicians of Salah al-Din, those in charge of work at the hospitals, those who worked on their own and had dispensaries; the physicians of Aleppo, private physicians of certain princes; and those who were mentioned briefly by name only. Ranking these physicians according to prestige and reputation is only possible in the case of diose who served Salah al-Din and those who worked at the new hospital of Damascus, be- cause each had a special type of work to meet the needs of §alah al-Din or the hospital, and in consequence their biographies are fuller. The most out- standing physician of these two groups, who was more devoted to the practice of medicine than any of the others and who was known for his medical treatment of bodi the elite and the common people (al-khassah wa al-'ammah), was As'ad ibn al-Mutran, one of Salah al-DIn's physi- cians.1 Information on the physicians of Syria during his reign from 570 A.H./ 1174 A.D. until his death in 589 A.H./1193 A.D. is found in a book called " Uyun al-AnbaTfi Tabaqdt a\-A$bha> (Sources of Information on Classes of the Physicians). The audior was a physician named Ahmad ibn al-Qa- sim ibn Khallfah ibn Yunus al-Khazraji, but known as Ibn Abi Usaybi'ah, who was born at Damascus around 600 A.H./1203 A.D. His grandfadier had Portions of this article are incorporated in a different context in my paper, 'A comparison of the wealth, prestige, and medical works of the physicians of §alih al-Dln in Egypt and Syria,' Bull. Hist. Mei., 1970, 44, 64-75. I. This paper discusses the physicians of Syria as a professional group during the reign of Salah it- Dln, shows that there was an office of the chief of physicians in Syria, and introduces the fact that owing to the rise of the Muslim leader Salah al-Dln in Syria the country became the center of attrac- tion to these physicians. The importance of medicine in Muslim countries like Iraq, Egypt, and Spain is pointed out in many historical works on the Near East but Syria has been neglected. The aim of this paper is to show that during this period, Syria was worthy of note for the number of physicians who came to Syria to live and practice medicine. [323 ] 324 Journal of the History of Medicine : July 1970 served Salah al-DIn when the latter was in Egypt; what kind of service he performed is not known. The author's family lived in Aleppo but moved to Egypt when §alah al-DIn became its master. His father and uncle prac- ticed ophdialmologyin Egypt, but in 597 A.H./1200 A.D. moved to Damas- cus where bodi became well known in their profession.2 Ibn Abi Usaybi "ah studied medicine at Damascus where one of his teachers was Radiy al- Downloaded from https://academic.oup.com/jhmas/article/XXV/3/323/767826 by guest on 01 October 2021 Din al-Rahbl, the famous physician of Salah al-DIn.3 In collecting material for his book, Ibn Abi Usaybi'ah used biographies and histories, but the most interesting information he provides is that re- lated to him by his father, by physicians, and by others who were contem- poraries of the physicians in Syria during Salah al-Din's reign.4 The medical profession was classified by the later distinguished historian al-Qalqashandl as being the highest among all professions.5 Ibn Abi U$ay- bi'ah wrote that his grandfather wanted his sons to learn medicine because he knew it to be an honorable profession greatly needed by the people and because he believed that those who practiced medicine, although enjoying honor and wealth in this world, came 'first in rank in the next.'6 Ibn Abi Usaybi'ah seems to have agreed partly with his grandfather by saying that medicine was one of the most honorable and profitable professions. He said it was his intention to write of the classes of physicians from the be- ginnings of the profession, since this had not been done before, and he would provide anecdotes about those of the highest class and divide them according to the periods in which they had lived.7 Today, because of the sparsity of information, it is impossible to rank all the physicians who practiced in Syria during the reign of Salah al-DIn; Ibn Abi Usaybi'ah wrote of only the best of his profession, so that the present paper will deal chiefly with these selected physicians, mostly Mus- 2.

The Samaritan physician Ibrahim ibn Khalaf who served §alah al-Dln is mentioned only very briefly, and the biographies of the three Christian physicians who served the same ruler are less than a half page in length, one of them a mere two lines.

Criticizing Ibn Abi Usaybi'ah for referring to a physician who had been sentenced to death by §alah al-Din, he added 'you mentioned this one, but you did not mention others who are better than he,' and pointed to himself.8 On the other hand, there is evidence that contemporary physicians and dignitaries of Syria were pleased with the contents of the work. The min- ister (wazir) Jamil al-Din ibn Mapruh also praised the author for a work which he considered to be without precedent.9 Another minister, who was also a physician, Amin al-Dawlah ibn Ghazil, told the father of Ibn Abi Usaybi'ah: I have heard that your son has written an unsurpassed book about the classes of physicians. Those physicians who visit me are pleased widi it. It is a book of great value, and although I have more than twenty diousand volumes in my hbrary, there is none of this nature. I wish you would ask him to send me a copy of his book.10 Early in the year 643 A.H./1245 A.D. Ibn Abi Ujaybi'ah had a copy of the work made for the minister to whom he dedicated it, and in return he received a large sum of money and a robe of honor (khil'ah).11 In the twelfth century Syria attracted physicians, scholars, and others from all walks of life. Some of the reasons for this were the movement of the center of power from Baghdad to Damascus during the reign of Nik al-Din, and from Egypt to Damascus during the reign of §alah al-Din; the establishment of such institutions as hospitals (Bimaristanat),12 with a school of medicine at the new Bimaristan of Damascus; and the urgent need for physicians owing to the Crusades. 8.

    DORIS BEHRENS-ABOUSEIF SCHOOL OF ORIENTAL AND AFRICAN STUDIES UNIVERSITY OF LONDON The Fire of 884/1479 at the Umayyad Mosque in Damascus and an Account of Its Restoration Among the series of fires that are reported to have hit the Umayyad Mosque of Damascus during its pre-modern history, the fire of 884/1479 is so far the least known.1 The well-known sources for this period, such as the contemporary Cairene chronicles of Ibn Iya≠s and al-S˛ayraf|, do not mention it; nor does al-Sakha≠w| refer to the subsequent substantial restoration of the Umayyad Mosque in his long list of Qa≠ytba≠y's construction and renovation works.2 The Syrian historian Ibn T˛u≠lu≠n (880–953/1476–1546), whose chronicle starts in 884, the same year when the fire broke out, when he was still a child, refers only briefly to the restoration works that followed this fire.3 In his biographical dictionary of the viceroys of Damascus, however, he does not include any reference to this fire under the entry of Qa≠ns˝u≠h al-Yah˝a≠w|, the viceroy in charge at that time.4 However, a detailed description of the catastrophe and the following restoration works can be found in the chronicle H˛awa≠dith al-Zama≠n wa-Wafaya≠t al-Shuyu≠kh wa-al-Aqra≠n by the Damascene historian Ah˝mad ibn Muh˝ammad ibn ‘Umar al- Middle East Documentation Center.

  • The Transformation of Middle Eastern Cities in the 12 Century
    Stefan Heidemann, Jena University The Transformation of Middle Eastern Cities in the 12th Century: Financing Urban Renewal The scope of the project1 The 12th century was a period of rapid change in the Middle East. It was a time of renewal as well as completion as the cityscapes’ Islamization came to a head. In Syria and Northern Mesopotamia a vast building program finally transformed the late Roman/early Islamic city of the sixth to the tenth centuries⎯followed by almost two centuries of decline⎯to the prosperous medieval city of the twelfth to sixteenth centuries, which can be still seen in the old towns of modern cities in the Middle East. The majority of the urban populations had become Muslim, and, with the appearance of a strong Muslim constituency, the cities became dominated by Islamic buildings and institutions, such as congregational mosques, schools of higher learning (madrasa), convents for mystics (khanqah), and hospitals. The period prior to the Seljuq conquest of Syria in 1087 witnessed urban decline. The beginning of the urban, political and economic renaissance2, and the extensive Zangid3 1 This chapter of my research project ‘the transformation of the Middle Eastern Cities in the 12th Century’ would not have been possible without the stimulating academic environment created by the Aga Khan Program for Islamic Architecture at MIT by invitation of Prof. Nasser Rabbat.

    Original Research PRACTICE-BASED RESEARCH Descriptive Analysis of Acceptance by Prescribers and Economic Benefit of Pharmacist Recommended Interventions in a Critical Care Unit YoonJung Lee, PharmD1, 2; Lana Gettman, PharmD2 1Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center; 2Harding University College of Pharmacy ABSTRACT Background: Pharmacist clinical intervention is defined as the action that identifies and prevents medication-related problems and optimizes patient’s medication therapy in cooperation with other healthcare professionals. Types of clinical interventions may vary, but each is patient specific. Few studies have focused on clinical pharmacists interventions in a critical care setting at a rural hospital. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to assess physician acceptance rate of pharmacist-recommended interventions in the critical care unit (CCU) at a rural hospital over five years and to evaluate the economic benefit of accepted pharmacist-recommended interventions over a one-year time period. Methods: This study was a retrospective chart review over a five-year time period. Each intervention was categorized and analyzed for acceptance or non-acceptance by the treating physician. Evaluation of economic benefit, cost saving and cost avoidance, for a one-year time period was performed. Results: A total of 1275 interventions were documented during study period. The average acceptance rate for documented interventions was 56%. The acceptance rate by physicians increased over the study period; with the acceptance rate in 2013 being statistically significantly higher than any other years. The overall cost saving for selected interventions was $432 for the one year. The overall cost avoidance of all accepted interventions for the one year was $453,339.36-$468,327.62.

  • EAHP Survey 2010 on Hospital Pharmacy in Europe
    BMJ 2139 European Journal of Hospital Pharmacy EAHP_European Journal of Hospital Pharmacy EAHP 05/06/2013 13:24 Page 1 HoEuropeasn Jouprnal ofital Pharmacy SCIENCE AND PRACTICE EAHP SURVEY 2010 Hospital Pharmacy Practice in Europe ejhp.bmj.com EAHP Survey 2010 on hospital pharmacy in Europe Dr. Roberto Frontini, EAHP President Since 1995, every five years the European Association of Hospital Pharma- cists (EAHP) has compiled and published a comprehensive survey of hospital pharmacy practice across Europe. The fourth survey was conducted in 2010, with data collected until January 2011. It is a pleasure for me to present in this booklet a summary of the results, which were published in a series in the EAHP’s official journal, European Journal of Hospital Pharmacy: Science and Practice (EJHP), in 2012 and 2013. The survey data are not presented question by question but rather are the- matically grouped into five chapters that encompass the spread of hospital pharmacy activity: 1. General frame and staffing; 2. Procurement and distribution; 3. Production and quality assurance; 4. Clinical services and patient safety; and, 5. Education and research In this way we hope to give a more concise overview without making concessions on the provision of detailed information by coun- try, by type, and by size of hospital. Where sensible and according to the quality of the data gathered, we also make some compari- sons to the results of the 2005 and 2000 surveys. Whilst the scale of difference in questions asked in the first EAHP survey (1995) is too high to allow comparisons with the 2010 data, it is still possible to track the developments in hospital pharmacy practice over the last decade.
