Ibn Jazla

Abu Ali Yahya ibn Isa ibn Jazla al-Baghdadi or Ibn Jazlah (Arabic: أبو علي يحيى بن عيسى بن جزله البغدادي), Latinized as Buhahylyha Bingezla, was an 11th-century Arab[1] physician of Baghdad and author of an influential treatise on regimen that was translated into Latin in 1280 AD by the Sicilian Jewish physician Faraj ben Salem.

His Taqwim al-Abdan fi Tadbir al-Insan (Dispositio corporum de constitutione hominis, Tacuin agritudinum), as the name implies: tables in which diseases are arranged like the stars in astronomical tables, was translated into Latin.

[2] This story has no historical foundation unless Ibn Jazla was born two centuries earlier, for indeed, Charlemagne was emperor up to 814.

The Tacuin was translated by the Jew Faraj ben Salim and the Latin version was published in 1532.

Ibn Jazla also wrote another work, Al-Minhaj fi Al-Adwiah Al-Murakkabah, (Methodology of Compound Drugs), which was translated by Jambolinus and was known in Latin translation as the Cibis et medicines simplicibus.
