My favorite person I learned about this week is Al-Razi. He was born in 854 AD and died in 925 AD. He moved to Baghdad to receive a higher education and became a doctor. He worked in the hospital and was the first person to discover smallpox was a different disease than measles. Smallpox is a disease that makes blisters all over your body. He attracted a circle of students. He was kind and helped poor people. He wrote a book of medical instructions for the public. He collected the medical knowledge of many different cultures and put it into a single collection. His books were translated into Latin and became famous in Europe. His works became popular in Europe and were contained into the basic subjects of the schools.
