"One of the most remarkable medieval Arabic manuscripts on simple drugs, popularly known as the “Herbal of al-Ghafiqi”. The work, composed by the celebrated twelfth-century Andalusian physician and scholar Abu Ja`far al-Ghafiqi, was arranged alphabetically according to an ancient notation no longer used in Arabic. Al-Ghafiqi, according to a thirteenth-century historian of Arab medicine, Ibn Abi `Usyabi`ah, was the greatest savant of medicinal plants, their names and their properties, and his work had no equal in this field."
