Shapur ibn Sahl

Shapur ibn Sahl, also written Sabur ibn Sahl, was a 9th century Persian Christain physician from the Academy of Gundishapur.

He wrote one of the first medical books on antidotes called Aqrabadhin, which was divided into 22 volumes, and which was possibly the earliest of its kind to influence Muslim medicine, and other medical works. This antidotary enjoyed much popularity until it was superseded Ibn al-Tilmidh's version later in the first half of twelfth century.
