Al-Razi

Abu Bakr Mohammad Ibn Zakariya al-Razi (864-930 A.D.) was born in Ray, Iran. Initially, he was interested in music but later on he learnt medicine, mathematics, astronomy, chemistry and philosophy from a student of Hunayn Ibn Ishaq, who was well versed in the ancient Greek. He was first placed in charge of the first Royal Hospital at Ray, then moved to a similar position in Baghdad where he remained the head of its famous Muqtadari Hospital for many years. From time to time he travelled to other cities, particularly Ray and Baghdad, but finally returned to Ray where he died around 930 A.D. His name is commemorated in the Razi Institute near Tehran. Razi was a Hakim, an alchemist and a philosopher. His contribution to medicine was invaluable and many of his works in medicine e.g. Kitab al- Mansoori, Al-Hawi, Kitab al-Mulooki and Kitab al-Judari wa al- Hasabah earned everlasting fame. In addition to being a physician, he compounded medicines and, in his later years, gave himself over to experimental and theoretical sciences. He detailed several chemical reactions and also designed around twenty instruments used in chemical investigations. He was a prolific author and about 40 of his manuscripts are still extant in the museums and libraries of Iran, Paris, Britain, Rampur, and Bankipur. His contribution has greatly influenced the development of science in general, and medicine in particular.
