| Summary | "Drawings and Pharmacy in Al-Zahrawi's 10th-Century Surgical Treatise" by Sami Hamarneh is a scientific publication produced as part of the Smithsonian Institution's Museum Bulletin in the early 1960s. The book focuses on the work of Abū al-Qāsim al-Zahrāwī, a prominent physician from Arabic Spain, specifically examining his 10th-century surgical treatise known as al-Tasrīf. This treatise is recognized as one of the earliest comprehensive works on surgery and contains various illustrations of surgical instruments and medicinal preparations. The publication reviews al-Zahrāwī’s contributions to surgery through a comparative analysis of his original illustrations and those found in later Latin and vernacular translations. Hamarneh discusses the significance of these drawings, which were meant as instructional aids for surgical apprentices, and emphasizes al-Zahrāwī's observations on surgical techniques, cautery practices, and the importance of pharmacological preparations in medical procedures. By showcasing these elements, the book highlights how al-Zahrāwī's work not only illustrated medical practices of the time but also likely influenced the development of surgical instruments and techniques in both Islamic and Western medicine.
