Rashidun Al-Suri (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Rashidun al-Sur was a leading physician and botanist in the Islamic world in the 13th century. He served the leading figures of the Ayyubid dynasty. Al-Suri was born and brought up in Tyre, then part of the Crusader-ruled Lebanon and derives his name al-Suri from the name of the city in Arabic "Sur." After completing his preliminary education in Tyre, he moved to Jerusalem, under Ayyubid control, where he served as a physician at a hospital. He later met and greatly impressed the Ayyubid sultan al-Adil in the early 13th century. Al-Adil brought al-Suri to Cairo and made him his personal physician.
