Ibn Zuhr 

Ibn Zuhr (1091–1161), also known as Avenzoar, was a prominent Arab physician and one of the pioneers in medical science. He is best known for his work in surgery and for being the first to introduce experimental medicine. His most famous work, "Kitab al-Taisir", focused on treating diseases like cataracts, hernia, and digestive disorders. He also made significant contributions to pharmacology, introducing new methods for medications.

The Jewish physician-philosopher Maimonides admired Ibn Zuhr, describing him as ''unique in his age and one of the great sages". 

Influence on Europe
