Abstract
Background and Aim: Anatomy is one of the most important topics in the history of medicine in all eras, especially in the era of Islamic civilization. During this period, Muslim physicians have written various works on the science of anatomy. Accordingly, in recent years several studies have been conducted in connection with the evolution of anatomical knowledge in the Islamic period. The purpose of this study is to introduce and critique the article "Dissection of bones in the medical works of the Islamic period; a comparative study of Tib- al- Maleki by Ahwazi and Qanoon by Avicenna written by Fahimeh Mokhber Dezfuli.
Materials and Methods: This research is an analytical-critical study that uses library resources and after introducing the article, evaluates it in terms of form, content, and method.
Findings: The article has fluent and cohesive writing and indicates the author's efforts to prove the sufficient mastery of Iranian Muslim physicians over the science of anatomy. Improper referrals and spelling errors are seen in the structure of the article. Also, the incompleteness of the research background, the determination of the unlikely goal, the lack of sufficient coverage of the historical subject, and the lack of accurate expression of the skull description in Qanoon can be considered as content critiques.
Conclusion: The main results of this study show that the article, despite being able to open new categories for researchers in the history of medicine by comparison of the description section of two valuable books of Iranian medicine but has several problems in terms of structure, content, and method. Therefore it is expected that due to the importance of criticism in scientific research and according to the analysis done in the article, the author can publish a significant work in future research by eliminating the mentioned weaknesses and shortcomings.
