The Complete Book of the Medical Art

The Complete Book of the Medical Art (Arabic: كامل الصناعة الطبية, Kitāb Kāmil al-Ṣināʻa al-Ṭibbīya), also known as The Royal Book (Arabic: الكتاب الملكي, Al-Kitāb al-Malakī), was written by Iranian physician 'Ali ibn al-'Abbas al-Majusi during the 10th century.

This book was considered one of the most necessary texts for medical students of that era,[1] and the importance of his book was mentioned several times in views of different medicine historians, such as Lucien Leclerc[2] and Arturo Castiglioni.

[1] The 9th treatise in the second part is focused on surgery, and consists of 110 different surgical subjects, including techniques of treating aneurysm, excising cysts and tumors and treating hernias.

[1] Al-Majūsī is well known for his accurate description of pleurisy, circulatory system, and the importance of diet and physical exercise in maintaining health.

The book was partially translated to Latin in 1089 and then was widely circulated in Europe.
