Salmawaih Bunan


Salmawaih ibn Bunan (died 840) was an Assyrian Nestorian Christian physician who translated works of Galen from Greek into Arabic. He served the Abbasid caliphs of Baghdad Al-Ma'mun (reigned 813-833) and his half-brother and successor Al-Mu'tasim (reigned 833-842).

His translations preceded those of Hunayn ibn Ishaq (808-873 CE), an Arab Nestorian Christian, who translated about ninety works of Galen into Syriac and about forty into Arabic.
