Abstract :
Man from the beginning, to keep his health, tried to identify the food and medicine so
that he could keep himself healthy. This experience has been passed over from genera-
tion to generation. Scientists and physicians, wrote books about the science of medicine
to transfer these experiences to posterity. Each of these books has been written in a style
or method and if we become familiar with these styles it will help to understand them.
This article is going to consider the style of Ibn Na?s’ in writing “Alshaml ? Sana’at
Tebbi’at”. For achieving this goal, the descriptive and analytical method is selected.
The results show that Ibn Na?s’ has been chosen a new approach for his book. This ap-
proach had avoided the deceased method in repeating the entries of drugs and expressed
the animal, vegetable and mineral drugs that had been available for the physicians. The
writer used the classi?cation of the materials to convey the content to the reader and in
each entry, mentioned the nature and actions of drug in organs. Modes of reasoning,
analogy, repetition, redundancy are the most used styles of the author in the book. Us-
ing these methods, although in some cases facilitated the text, but repeating it for many
times in some cases, caused the text to lose its coherence.
