This book, because of its richness and fullness and its highly prac- tical character, is (despite its prolixity and the question-and-answer form plainly indispensable to a complete understanding of the ophthalmology of the Arabian middle ages. Only two other ophthal- mographers of the time are worthy to be ranked with Zarrin-Dast— Ali ben Isa and Ammar.—(T. H. S.) Abu Zakarija Juhanna b. Masawaih. (He was also called filius-mesue, because of his sonship to Masawaih Abu Juhanna). This rather un- important Arabian ophthalmographer (777-857 A. D.) is known to us chiefly because of the numerous references made to him in the Continents of Razes; also because of his two books: Knoivledge of the Examination of Oculists and Alteration of the Eye.— (T. H. S.) Abversion. The turning of one or both eyeballs outward. Abwaschen. (G.) To wash off. Abwaschung. (G.) Lotion. Abwechseln. (G.) To alternate, to intermit. Abwechselnd. (G.) Intermittent, alternating.](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b29000567_0001_0050.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
