Abstract:
Hakim Nezami of Ganja, is the greatest storyteller throughout the history of Persian literature. Not only are the wide variety of his works challenging from an artistic and literary point of view, but also they can be studied from scientifical and sociological aspects. Unfortunately these works have scarcely had the opportunity to be noticed; compared to his stunning literary creations. Yet they reveal other aspects of his potential and power once a close and deep study is devoted to the mentioned works.
This article evaluates some medical issues in Nezami’s works, by comparing them with significant ancient medical books. "Qanun" (The Law), "Hedayate Al-Motaalemin fi Teb" (Guide Book for Physicians), and "Al Abnia an Haghayegh al Advia", etc. are some of the books used for this comparative study. The result shows that Nezami had a very serious knowledge of medicine. There is even the possibility that he has gained all this information directly from ancient medical books.
