He was born in Andalusia (Spain) when this country was under the Arab rule. During many centuries Zakhravi's book was the most authoritative textbook on surgery both in East and West. The book gives description of different types of surgical treatment and provides drawings of hundreds of surgical instruments which were used 700 years ago.
