Shaykh Abu ‘l-Hasan al-Jabali (fictitious) Circa: 11th century CE [Bismillah al-Rahman al-Rahim] Introduction Praise be to God who created healing in the earth, who made the leaves of the valleys and the roots of the mountains as remedies for the children of Adam. This book, called al-Jab al-Jab (the deepest well, the root of roots), is compiled for the physician who travels without apothecary and for the villager far from cities. Here we record only that which has been tested by the ancients—Galen, Dioscorides, and the Indian sages—and confirmed by our own hands in the hospitals of Damascus and the mountains of Lebanon.
