Ibn al-Nafis
There is currently debate over whether Ibn al-Nafis influenced later Western anatomists such as Realdo Columbo and William Harvey. In AD 1344, Kazrouny wrote a verbatim copy of Ibn al-Nafis' commentary on Canon in his "Sharh al-Kulliyat". In AD 1500, Andrea Alpago returned to Italy after studying in Damascus. In Alpago's 1547 A.D. publication of "Libellus de removendis nocumentis, quae accident in regimime sanitatis", there is a Latin translation containing part of Ibn al-Nafis' commentary on pharmacopeia. This was published in Venice during its rule over Padua. Harvey arrived in Padua in AD 1597.
