Pedanius Dioscorides
Nabati wrote a commentary on the book of Pedanius Dioscorides which bore the title "Materia Medica" after the term. Nabati's commentary was itself encyclopedic in nature, seeking to bring together the work of both Dioscorides and Ibn Juljul, along with preceding traditions and Nabati's own original contributions on plants in the Iberian peninsula.
