The medical section of the KitÄb al-Naṣīḥatayn or Book of the Two Pieces of Advice by the medieval author cAbd al-Laţīf ibn YÅ«suf al-BaghdÄdÄ« (1162-1231) challenges the idea that Arabic-Islamic medicine declined after the twelfth century A.D. Moreover, it offers some interesting insights into the social history of medicine.
