About this audiobook
The work you do quietly, that nobody signs your name to, may be the most important thing you ever give the world.
You know the feeling of writing the document everyone uses and nobody attributes, solving a problem so thoroughly that no one remembers it was ever hard.
Ali ibn al-Abbas al-Majusi knew it too. In tenth-century Persia, he wrote twenty discourses covering the whole of medicine, inventing the structural divide between theory and practice. Then a monk translated it into Latin and left his name off. For centuries, Europe learned medicine from his structure under another man's name.
The Complete Art is a narrative biography of the stolen genius who shaped medical history.
• Discover why building the framework of a system outlasts individual fame
• Follow a stolen manuscript across centuries and empires
• Meet the physician whose invisible foundation we still stand on
It counted. Open the first page.
