This book collects and analyses the available biographical data on 600 Jewish medical practitioners in the 9-16th century Muslim world. Both the biographies and the accompanying discussion shed light on both the medicine of the period and practitioners' professional, daily and personal lives; Jewish communities; and inter-religious affairs.
