Explanation of the introduction of knowledge for Hippocrates

Authorship / Modest Al-Din Al-Dakhwar Introduction to Knowledge in the Language of Ancient Medicine, which corresponds to what is called disease warning, and whether it has to do with recovery, or duration, or other matters. The book "Introduction to Knowledge" by Hippocrates is considered one of the Greek medical books that the Arabs translated into their language during the Islamic scientific Renaissance, which flourished in the mid-Abbasid era. It is a small-sized book of great benefit, discussing the symptoms that accompany various acute diseases, through which one can infer the future course of the diseases, and what measures each one should take. The uniqueness of the book lies in the fact that Hippocrates preceded in this field at an early age, and that he was ahead of his time in this regard. There is no better evidence of this than that his contemporaries among doctors accused him of divination, and criticized his knowledge and prediction of what the patient's condition would be in the coming days, despite the fact that Hippocrates was cautious in dealing with them by attributing this science to his personal opinion, to avoid their criticism. This book discusses disease warning, which is a very important science in medicine, as it protects the doctor from the bad consequences of the disease that may occur to the patient, so he is not blamed for what happened if he, with his knowledge, anticipated these negative developments of the disease condition in his hands.
