The interest of physicians and pharmacists in the substitution of simple drugs by other drugs goes back at least to the first century A.D., where some dispersed references to this subject are found in the Materia medica of Dioscorides (fl. 50-70). Nevertheless, the oldest coherent list of this kind of substitutes is given as the 25th chapter of the 7th Book of Medical Compendium by Paul of Aegina, written toward the middle of the 7th century A.D. on the basis of Galen's doctrines. The physicians of the Islamic period seem to have paid more attention to this subject and produced monographs on it. In this paper, we show that among these works, an Arabic version of a treatise attributed to an otherwise unknown pharmacist named BDIGHURS, as well as The treatise on Substitute Drugs by Razi have excerced the greatest influence on the works written on this subject till the 18th century A.D. and that Razi's treatise is greatly influenced by the work of BDIGHURS.
