Introduction Abū’l-ٱasan ‘Ali ibn Sahl Rabbān (or Raban) al-ٱabarī, son of Sahl Rabbān al-ٱabarī is a notable 9th-century Muslim physician, psychologist and one of the first scholars who studied the comparative history of religions. He also produced one of the first encyclopaedic works on medicine. He lived more than seventy years and met with important figures such as Muslim Caliphs, governors and eminent scholars. He is one of the most controversial scholars due to his family’s religious background and the books he composed on the religious matters. In this study, the works of al-ٱabarī will be analyzed under the light of new findings about his life and works. 2. Biography ‘Alī b. Sahl Rabbān al-ٱabarī was born in an intellectual Syriac Christian family in Marw in the region of Khurāsān (near present-day Tehran). We ignore the dates of his birth and death. His father, Sahl Rabbān al-ٱabarī (d. c. 845- 850), was a highly placed state official; he was an educated and respected member of the Christian Syriac community. His Uncle Abū Zakkār Yahyā b. al-Nu’man was also a distinguished scholar and the leader of the society of the time. Professionally, Ali’s father Sahl was a successful scholar.
