Liber pantegni
Liber Pantegni is a comprehensive medical encyclopedia written by Constantine the African, a renowned 11th-century physician and translator. The work is divided into two parts: the Theorica Pantegni and the Practica Pantegni, covering theoretical and practical aspects of medicine respectively.
Overview[edit | edit source]
The Liber Pantegni is one of the earliest comprehensive medical texts to be translated into Latin. It is based on the Kitab al-Maliki (The Royal Book) by Ali ibn Abbas al-Majusi, a 10th-century Persian physician. The Liber Pantegni played a significant role in the development of medical education in the Middle Ages, particularly in the Schola Medica Salernitana, the first medical school in the Western world.
Theorica Pantegni[edit | edit source]
The Theorica Pantegni is the theoretical part of the Liber Pantegni. It consists of ten books that cover various aspects of medical theory, including the structure and function of the human body, the causes and symptoms of diseases, and the nature of health and illness.
Practica Pantegni[edit | edit source]
The Practica Pantegni is the practical part of the Liber Pantegni. It also consists of ten books, which provide detailed instructions on the treatment of various diseases and conditions. The Practica Pantegni covers a wide range of medical practices, including surgery, obstetrics, and pharmacology.
Legacy[edit | edit source]
The Liber Pantegni had a profound impact on the development of Western medicine. It was widely studied and copied in the Middle Ages, and it served as a standard textbook in medical schools for several centuries. The Liber Pantegni also influenced many later medical works, including the Canon of Medicine by Avicenna and the Compendium of Medicine by Galen.
