"No Arabic originals have been traced, nor is Mesue junior (928-1015) mentioned by any Arabic writer. Probably Latin compilations of the 10th or 11th century, they may have been given, for the sake of its prestige, the name of the real Mesue (Joannes Mesue Damascenus) --Yuhannā ibn Māsawayh, c.777-857)" --Osler, Sir William. Bibliotheca Osleriana.
