Abstract
Abubakr Ahmad Al-Akhawayni Bukhari (also known as Joveini) is one of the famous Persian physicians in 10’Th century. He was from Bokhara (a city in Azerbaijan) and pupil of Abolghasem Moghanei Razi, who himself was one of the Rhazes’s pupils. Due to prominant achievements in treatment of psychiatric patients (especially melancholics), Akhawayni was called as “physician of insanes”. He has some books in pharmacology, anatomy and pulsology. His only book that survived is “Hidayat al-Muta‘allemin Fi al-Tibb” (guidance of medical pupils). It is also the first Persian medical text in the history. Akhaweyni has some innovations like Orogastric (OG) tube and 10 new drug compounds. In addition he used fever chart for the first time to describe different types of fever. He also discussed about many neurological and psychological diseases in his book. Accordingly, he could be considered as one of the pioneers of medicine in Iran.
