How the discovery of Ibn al-Nafis was stolen

in medcine •  7 years ago 



Muslim scientists suffered a lot of theft of their discoveries, attributed to the scientists of the West and this is what happened with the Muslim world Ibn al-Nafis discoverer of the micro circulation; he recorded accurately in his book (explaining the dissection of the law), but this fact mixed for centuries, and later falsely attributed to William William Harvey, who looked at the blood cycle after the death of Ibn al-Nafis more than three centuries !!!
Italian doctor Albergo translated sections of the book Ibn al-Nafis (explaining the anatomy of the law) to Latin, and this doctor has lived nearly thirty years in (Alra) at the time of the Crusades, has mastered the Arabic language to translate into Latin.

It was said that the Spanish scientist was not a medical man was called (Servetus) was studying at the University of Paris to see what was translated by Albajo from the book of Ibn al-Nafis; and because of the accusation of Servetus in his faith, he was expelled from the university, and executed burning and with his most books in the year 1065 / 1553 CE).

But some of his books were not burned, including the transfer of the translation of Albajo Ibn al-Nafis in terms of blood circulation, and researchers believe that the best discovery of this back to the Spanish world and after him "Harvey" until the year (1343/1924) Egyptian doctor Dr. Mohieddin Al-Tataoui corrected this illusion when he found a copy of the manuscript explaining the dissection of Ibn al-Nafis in the Berlin Library.

The supervisors were impressed with the message when they found out what they were, and what they almost believed! In their ignorance of the Arabic language, they sent a copy of the letter to the German orientalist "Mayerhoff" who was residing in Cairo, and asked for his opinion in what was written by the researcher, and the result was that "Meyerhoff" supported Dr. "Altawi" !!

He then informed "Meyerhoff" the truth of what was revealed by the efforts of Ibn al-Nafis to historian (George Sarton), and spread this fact in the last part of his book known (the history of science) !!
