Question

Given below are two statements:
Statement I : “Jawam’e al – Iskandrnain” is the collection of fourteen books.
Statement II : Out of fourteen books seven books were written by Buqarat and seven by Jalinoos.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

• A. Both Statement I and Statement II are correct
• B. Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect
• C. Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect
• D. Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct

Hint:

Jawam’e al – Iskandrnain = 14 books: 7 Hippocrates (Buqarat) + 7 Galen (Jalinoos).

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Statement I is correct because “Jawam’e al – Iskandrnain” is known in Unani literature as the famous collection of fourteen medical books.
This collection represents an important compilation of early Greek medical wisdom.
Statement II is also correct because the fourteen books are traditionally described as seven authored by Buqarat (Hippocrates) and seven by Jalinoos (Galen).
This reflects the foundational influence of both scholars on Unani medical texts.
Hence, both statements are true.
