Abstract
This paper concerns the history of medicine, particularly formal medieval medicine in the Islamic cultural sphere. It focusses on the 9th century physician Qusta ibn Luqa and his production, and includes a survey of the contents of a hitherto unpublished Arabic treatise, attributed to Qusta ibn Luqa, on dental-nerve dysfunction.
