International audience The Dastūr al-‘amal ba-qawl aṭibbā-yi hindī (The Practical Rules [of Medicine] according to the Indian Physicians) is a short text on rules of seasonal health according to Indian medicine. The preface of the only known manuscript copy, preserved at the British Library, states that it is one of the works of the philosopher and physician Ibn Sīnā (d. 370/980) (min taṣnīf-i šayḫ al-ra’is Bū ‘Alī Sīnā). Although Ibn Sīnā’s Qānūn fī al-ṭibb includes few references to Indian medical culture this attribution is certainly spurious as this tract is not mentioned elsewhere among the writings of Ibn Sīnā.
