In the medieval history of Islamic medicine sources, there is a lot of information regarding the translation of the books on the Alexandria Medical School and regarding the bibliographies of doctors. Among the books that were taught in Alexandria Medical School, Galen`s works are the most important. One of the famous translators, Hunayn ibn Ishaq, has made a full bibliographic list of Galen`s works. Galen`s corpus consisted of 16 books in summary. This corpus is called `Jawami al-Iskandaraniyyin`. These books consisted of 7 training stages.
