What is known as Dioscorides? 🤔
#Dioscorides is the other name of the book "De Materia Medica", written by the eponymous physician and botanist Dioscorides (c. 40).
It is a basic treatise on medicinal plants and #pharmacopoeia that was very influential until the 17th century.📖
The ulema and physician Ibn Ŷulŷul (d. 994) narrates how the #Andalusians were not able to understand the work completely, as there were parts where the translator either did not know the Arabic name of the plant, or did not know to which plant the original name corresponded. 🌱
The Byzantine emperor sent a Greek monk, Nicolas, an expert in the Arabic language, to Cordoba.
Surrounded by Andalusian botanists and doctors, the first #school of translators in our peninsula, based on pharmacological knowledge, was thus initiated in Caliphate Cordoba. ✍️

This impressive front cover is part of the #necropolis of Shah-I-Zinda, in Samarkand, Uzbekistan.
It is a large complex consisting of eleven royal #mausoleums dating from the 14th and 15th centuries 🕌.
Particularly striking are the #architecture and the quality of the #ceramic tiles, mostly turquoise, cladding the domes and walls.
