Ibn Butlan
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ibn Butlan (Arabic: ابن بطلان; died 1038,[1] or 1066[2]) was an Iraqi Christian physician of the Islamic Golden Age.
He wrote the Taqwim al-Sihhah (The Maintenance of Health). The work treated matters of hygiene, dietetics, and exercise. It emphasized the benefits of regular attention to the personal physical and mental well-being. The continued popularity and publication of this medieval text of Middle Eastern origin into the sixteenth century is thought to demonstrate the influence that Arabic culture had on early modern Europe.[1]
