Why is the work of Ibn Al Nafis not as widely published as that of Galen and Harvey when it is actually the most accurate?
Reading some of the notes, Galen was much earlier than Ibn al-Nafis. amd William Harvey came much later than Ibn al-Nafis, and actually corrected some errors in Ibn al-Nafis's works.I'm trying to figure out what language Ibn al-Nafis wrote in. It appears as if he was writing in Arabic which is difficult for many Europeans.Ibn al-Nafis was also writing during the early Renaissance period, contemporary with Leonardo Da Vinci, who had many great contributions to modern society including his works in anatomy and medicine.History as written by Europeans and descendants of Europeans is naturally ethnocentric, but also would include an element of the individuals that influenced the European culture of the time. It is not clear if Ibn al-Nafis's works were available translated into Latin, or other European languages until 200 or 300 years after his death, and perhaps only briefly before being superseded by the work of William Harvey and other scientists during the Scientific Revolution.

Who discovered the circulation of blood vessel?
AnswerIbn Al-Naphis (Ala al-Din Abu al-A'la Ali ibn Abi Hazm al-Quraishi) of Damascus, an Arab physician of the thirteenth century (1210-1288 CE), explained the basic principles of the modern theory of the lesser or PULMONARY circulation nearly three hundred and fifty years before Sir William Harvey of Kent, England, who is wrongly credited with this discovery.This fact was acknowledged in 1957 by Professor Dr J B Latham of the University of Manchester at the tercentenary of the death of William Harvey (Sunday Times 9 June 1957).He also stated that Ibn Al-Naphis had "recognised the fallacy of Galen's theory of invisible channels between the ventricles.He similarly explained that blood was purified in the lungs where it was refined on contact with the air inhaled from the outer atmosphere. "It should not be assumed too readily that great discoveries were made only in Europe." (The Statesman, Calcutta, 11 June 1957).Ibn Al-Naphis was the chief physician at the Al-Mansuri Hospital, Cairo, Egypt, where he practised and taught medicine and Muslim theology until his death at the age of 77. He wrote a book "Sharh al Qanun" in which he expounded the pulmonary circulation for the first time. This commentary was consulted by Ibn Al-Quff, a great scientist and contemporary of Ibn Al-Naphis.All scholarly standards and historical fairness should accredit Ibn Al-Naphis as being the first to discover and illustrate the Pulmonary Circulation.by: Dr Ibrahim Shaikh, Sun 14 October, 2001http://www.muslimheritage.com/imagelibrary/circulation.gifWilliam Harvey.
