The genre flourished from the 12th century onwards, possibly due to the influence of the famous Urjūza fī l-ṭibb by Ibn Sīnā. The Urjūza was commented upon by Ibn Rushd and Ibn Ṭumlūs and reached a wide readership thanks to the scholars of al-Andalus; they also wrote other poems on medicine and the sciences for a learned public, and possibly also for future physicians. The article pieces together and analyses a large body of evidence from the primary and secondary bibliography in order to give a general description of the genre and its influence in the transmission and teaching of medicine in the Almohad, Nasrid, Marinid and Ḥafsid societies.40 p.application/pdfengcc-by-nc-nd (c) Forcada Nogués, Miquel, 2021https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/Literatura àrabPoesia didàcticaHistòria de la medicinaHistòria de la ciènciaAl-AndalusMagribArabic literaturDidactic poetryHistory of medicineHistory of sciencesAl-AndalusNorth AfricaSegle XII-segle XV12th century-15th centuryinfo:eu-repo/semantics/article7312922023-03-01info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
