This PhD dissertation represents a significant contribution to the field of Medieval Arabic Science as it aims to spread the Medieval Arabic scientific literary production to the public, by presenting the critical edition and translation into Spanish of the unedited Kitāb Mīzān al-Ṭabīb or the Risāla al-šihābīya fī al-ṣināʿa al-ṭibbīya, along with a study of the author(s) of these texts. The treatise is a medical-pharmacological work consisting of eighty chapters, each addressing various bodily and mental diseases, for which pharmacological remedies, diets, and habits are prescribed. It has been attributed with the first title to one of the most famous Andalusi pharmacologists and botanists, Ibn al-Bayṭār (d. 1248).
