الطب و المتعّلقات به في مثنوي مولانا جلال الدين محمد مولوي الرومي

كان مولانا يقيم كبير وزن للطب الظاهري المدرسي كما يظهر في آثاره، و كانت لديه معرفة كافية بالاعتلالات الجسدية و أعراضها و علاجاتها، و غالباً ماكان يستخدم هذه المعلومات لبيان التجارب الروحية و الأمور المعنوية . و يعد مولانا – كطائفة من العلماء القدامى - العلم البحثي مأخوذاً من وحي الأنبياء كعلم الطب و النجوم. و يذكر في المثنوي أفلاطون الطبيب و جالينوس ، و يرى في جالينوس نموذجاً كاملاً للطبيب الجسماني، و يضرب به المثل في الإحاطة بالطب و التبحر في علاج المرضى، و يذكر أن كتبه في الطب و التشريح و الأدوية كانت متداولة بين المسلمين.

And mostly he was using this information for clarifying the spiritual experiences and the moral matters. And he considered the research science taken from the prophets inspiration as the medicine and the astronomy, and he speaks in the Mathnavi about Plateau and Gallinus, and he seas that Gallinus was a complete model of the physician and in the knowledge of medicine and the delving into the treatment of patients. It is mentioned that his books in medicine, the anatomy and the medicines and the treatments and the preservation of health were known amongst the Muslims.
