By the twelfth century, hospitals serving the sick and the poor could be found in nearly every Islamic city. Ahmed Ragab traces the varying origins and development of these institutions, locating them in their urban environments and linking them to charity networks and patrons' political projects. Following the paths of patients inside hospital wards, he investigates who they were and what kinds of experiences they had. The Medieval Islamic Hospital explores the medical networks surrounding early hospitals and sheds light on the particular brand of practice-oriented medicine they helped to develop. Providing a detailed picture of the effect of religion on medieval medicine, it will be essential reading for those interested in history of medicine, history of Islamic sciences, or history of the Mediterranean  aCharities history  aIslam history  aHospitals history  aCharities history  aAhmed Ragab.  cBOOK  c60364d60364  00102ddc4070aSNULbSNULd2023-06-19eZafaa Booksl2m1o362.110 RAGp29341r2024-10-22 00:00:00s2024-09-21w2023-06-19yBOOKzKnowledge Collection
