The Medieval Islamic Hospital : Medicine, Religion, and Charity

The first monograph on Islamic hospitals, this volume examines their origins, development, and architecture; their role in charity networks and political projects; and their connections to non-Islamic institutions. Ahmed Ragab sheds light on who medieval hospital patients were and how early hospital medicine differed from other forms of medical practice.
