The Comprehensive Book on Medicine” (al-Hawi) is a seminal medical encyclopedia compiled by al-Rāzī. This extensive work gathers and systematizes medical knowledge from Greek, Persian, and earlier Arabic sources, integrating them with al-Rāzī’s own clinical observations. Widely used throughout the Islamic world—and later in Europe via its Latin translations—this encyclopedia shaped medical education and practice for centuries.
