Nahyan Fancy is working on the theoretical and practical sections of eleven Arabic medical commentaries produced between 1200 and 1520 in Islamic societies. These commentaries have been ignored thus far by medical historians. His project aims not only to chart the evolution of medical discussions over the three centuries, but also to situate them within the intellectual, institutional, and social contexts of these societies.
