Abstract

Jamal al-Din al-Aqsarai, a 14th century Iranian physician who lived and worked in Aqsaray (modern-day Turkey), is recognized for his scholarly commentary on Hal al-Mujez, a medical treatise by Ibn al-Nafis rooted in Avicenna’s Canon of Medicine. This study is review-based research, compiled through the analysis of scholarly sources available in libraries and information centers. Hal al-Mujez is considered one of the most famous and authoritative commentaries due to its ease and clarity. It was widely known and frequently used by physicians, serving as one of the most prevalent educational resources for traditional medicine in India. Understanding physicians like Aqsarai will significantly contribute to a deeper understanding of the medical history of both the Iranian and Ottoman civilizations. © Journal of Research on History of Medicine.
