Note:Lying preserved in the Ayasofya Library in Istanbul is an astonishing manuscript. Written by the ninth century CE polymath Abu Zayd al-Balkhi, it tackles more than eleven centuries ago mental and psychological disorders which seem commonplace to us today. The manuscript of Sustances for Bodies and Souls is composed in two distinct parts. This work forms an English translation of the second (Sustenance of the Soul).--Back cover.
