Al-Natili

Natili. Abu Abdallah Husayn ibn Ibrahim ibn Hasan ibn Khurshid at-Tabari an-Natili ( | Romanization: Abū ʿAbdallāh Ḥusain ibn Ibrāhīm ibn Khūrshīd aṭ-Ṭabarī an-Nātllī), was a Persian physician from Tabaristan.

He is most famous for being the tutor of the influential polymath Ibn Sina. Later, Ibn Sina was largely dismissive of Natili's influence but acknowledged that his interest in medicine arose in the course of his studies with him. As Ibn Sina was largely dismissive of most contemporaries, such as Al Biruni, Abu ‘l- Faraj, and more, this actually speaks to the level of respect Natili must have commanded.
