Ibn Sarabiyun is one of the last exponents of classical Syriac medical writing, and one of the most influential authors for the development of medical theory and practice in late ninth-century Baghdad in particular, and for the Arabic medical tradition in general. During the last thirty years, three important studies have been published regarding the life and work of Ibn Sarabiyun, each of which dealing with a different aspect of the transmission of this important author's œuvre. Likewise, during the last twenty-five years, a number of texts associated with Ibn Sarabiyun's works have been edited, allowing us today to shed new light on the relation between the original Syriac and the numerous translations into Arabic, Latin and Hebrew. Furthermore, through analysing and comparing a number of manuscripts containing different parts of Ibn Sarabiyun's work which have not hitherto been considered together, progress can be made towards answering the question how Ibn Sarabiyun was translated and used during the medieval period.
