Al-Ghafiqi

Muhammad Ibn Qassoum Ibn Aslam Al-Ghafiqi, simply known as Al-Ghafiqi (died 1165 CE), also from Spain, wrote a book in the 12th century called Al-Murshid fî 'l-Kuhl (The Right Guide in Ophthalmology). The book is not just confined to the eye but gives details of the head and diseases of the brain. Al-Ghafiqi used Ammar's treatise as a reference for his work. Today a tourist visiting Cordoba can see the commemorating bust of Muhammad Al-Ghafiqi, a tribute paid from the people of Cordoba to an outstanding Muslim eye specialist. The bust with full Arab Ammama can be seen in the quadrangle of a municipal hospital in Cordoba, Spain. It was erected in 1965 to commemorate the eight hundredth anniversary of his death.
