Among the pharmacologist Andalusian erudites who have been translated into Latin language, for example by Gerard de Crémone, Al-Zahrâwî (Albucasis) and Ibn Wâfid are references. Al-Zahrâwî has written about materia medica in several books included in his thirty volume's encyclopaedia: "al-Tasriîf", Ibn Wâfid has given to the medical world two remarkable treatises; a really formulary "kitâb al-wisâd fi l-tibb" though a book of the simple drugs, "al-kitâb fî al-adwiya al-mufrada".
