—al-Dimashqī, founder of the Physicians’ Madrasa in Darb al-ʿAmīd.
He was born a little after 560 AH.
He composed several works, including a treatise on purgatives. The leadership of the medical profession ultimately rested with him; he enjoyed the favor of kings and amassed vast worldly wealth. In his own elegant mansūb script he personally copied more than one hundred volumes.
He studied Arabic with al-Kindī, and therapeutics with al-Raḍī al-Raḥbī, al-Muwafaq ibn al-Maṭrān, and al-Fakhr al-Mārdīnī. He entered the service of al-ʿĀdil and of the vizier Ibn Shukr, receiving from al-ʿĀdil, during a severe illness, seven thousand Egyptian dinars, and from al-ʿĀdil’s son al-Kāmil over ten thousand dinars, not counting the robes of honor and pack-mules.
He held the chief medical post in both provinces, was expert in every subject on which he lectured, kept company with Sayf al-Āmidī in the rational sciences, and pursued mathematics as well.
Later he was stricken with paralysis and a heaviness of the tongue; he treated himself with electuaries, but a violent fever shook his strength. He remained speechless for months and lost an eye, then died in Ṣafar 628 AH and was buried on Mount Qāsiyūn.
