  • What are the main claims of the paper and how important are they?

    The authors' aim in this article is to present to the reader the many references to medicine in the Arabic literature.


  • Are these claims novel? If not, please specify papers that weaken the claims to the originality of this one.

    Yes


  • Are the claims properly placed in the context of the previous literature?

    Yes


  • Do the results support the claims? If not, what other evidence is required?

    Yes


  • If a protocol is provided, for example for a randomized controlled trial, are there any important deviations from it? If so, have the authors explained adequately why the deviations occurred?

    No


  • Is the methodology valid? Does the paper offer enough details of its methodology that its experiments or its analyses could be reproduced?

    No


  • Would any other experiments or additional information improve the paper? How much better would the paper be if this extra work was done, and how difficult would such work be to do, or to provide?

    The paper has great potential if it is rewritten with proper grammar and editing.


  • Is this paper outstanding in its discipline? (For example, would you like to see this work presented in a seminar at your hospital or university? Do you feel these results need to be incorporated in your next general lecture on the subject?) If yes, what makes it outstanding? If not, why not?

    No- in its present form it would not make for a good seminar.


  • Other Comments:

    This is an interesting article which deals with an extremely interesting topic.  However, there are too many spelling errors and errors in grammar to make the article flow in a cogent manner.  The authors give examples of various didactical poems which examine various medical topics.  One such topic is headaches.  it also tells the reader of a fourteenth century persian metrical compendium on medicine.
