#IbnNafis on his writings: If I thought my books would not be read for thousands of years to come, I would never have written them!

#IbnNafis was only recently credited with his discoveries in modern history by Meyerhof, 1933 and Binet, 1947 incl some others...

400yrs after #IbnNafis, Harvey (1657) described circulation of blood without mentioning Muslim discovery that he probably knew about...

Ideas of #IbnNafis spread to Europe- Servetus claimed discovery but was burnt @stake by church with his book tied to his leg for those ideas
