Ali bin Radwan is one of the most famous doctors and scholars of the scientific renaissance, which was witnessed throughout the Arab Islamic countries in the fourth century AH. He was born in the city of Giza and grew up there. He learned medicine and astronomy without a teacher, and his reliance was on medical books. He excelled in the medical profession, so the Fatimid Caliph Al-Hakim appointed him by order. God was the chief physician in his court, and Ibn Ridwan Al-Eid wrote many important works and books in various fields, the most important of which are medical science, then philosophy and astronomy, and their number reached about one hundred books.
