Al-Zahrawi, known in Latin as Albucasis, practised in Cordoba around the year 1000. His thirty-part medical encyclopedia ended with a surgery section illustrated with surgical instruments, and it was translated into Latin and used in Europe for centuries. This book follows the doctor, the city he worked in, the techniques he described, and the surprisingly modern argument at the heart of his writing: that surgery needs knowledge of anatomy, not just a steady hand.
