 The Kitāb al-Taṣrīf (Arabic: كتاب التصريف لمن عجز عن التأليف‎, lit. 'The Arrangement of Medical Knowledge for One Who is Not Able to Compile a Book for Himself'),^[1] known in English as The Method of Medicine, is a 30-volume Arabicencyclopedia on medicine and surgery, written near the year 1000 by Abu al-Qasim al-Zahrawi (Abulcasis). It is available in translation.^[2] The Kitab al-Tasrif took al-Zahrawi over 50 years to complete. It contains information about a wide variety of illnesses, injuries, medical conditions, treatments, and surgical procedures. It describes over 200 different surgical instruments. Surgeons continued to rely on the Kitab al-Tasrif well into the 1700s; some of Al-Zahrawi’s surgical procedures are still being used to this very day. This book was read by medical students at major universities in Europe until the late 1800s.^{[citation needed]}
