This essay was presented at a symposium entitled ‘Arabic Science and Medicine, 750–1950’, which was held at the Wellcome Institute for the History of Medicine, London, 13–14 December 1984, in co-operation with the League of Arab States. It is an abridgement of my “Majnūn”: the madman in Islamic society, which will treat more fully the various aspects of the topic. I should like to thank Lawrence Conrad for his helpful comments and suggestions.
