His Works
- His Firdous al-Hikmah ("Paradise of Wisdom"), which he wrote in Arabic called also Al-Kunnash was a system of medicine in seven parts. He also translated it into Syriac, to give it wider usefulness. The information in Firdous al-Hikmah has never entered common circulation in the West because it was not edited until the 20th century, when Mohammed Zubair Siddiqui assembled an edition using the five surviving partial manuscripts. There is still no English translation.
- Tuhfat al-Muluk ("The King's Present")
- a work on the proper use of food, drink, and medicines.
- Hafzh al-Sihhah ("The Proper Care of Health"), following Greek and Indian authorities.
- Kitab al-Ruqa ("Book of Magic or Amulets")
- Kitab fi al-hijamah ("Treatise on Cupping")
- Kitab fi Tartib al-'Ardhiyah ("Treatise on the Preparation of Food")
