First Complete Translation
Only partial translations or excerpts exist. This is the first complete English translation.
The 'Opera Medica' (often referred to as the 'Continens' or 'Liber Continens') is a massive encyclopedic work by al-Razi. While specific, smaller treatises by al-Razi (such as 'On Smallpox and Measles') have been translated into English, there is no evidence of a complete English translation of the 'Opera Medica' (Continent) as compiled in the 1544 Basel edition. The work is widely recognized in medical history as a monumental Latin compilation that has not been rendered into English in its entirety.
