Arabic became the language of scientific and medical discourse from the river Guadalquivir in Spain, to the Ganges. Although this heritage is often forgotten today, it formed an integral part – not just of the Eastern – but also the Western medical tradition. It was also highly innovative, partly because it forged a medical tradition that went beyond country and creed.
