[edit] Grammer and Spelling
I corrected a few grammar and spelling errors but could not correct the main body of article as I could not understand it.

There is also Ibn Nafis. It is the same person, surely, despite a few factual discrepancies. Charles Matthews 19:58, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

Ibn Nafis (1210-1288) was the first person to accurately describe the process of blood circulation in the human body (in 1242). Contemporary drawings of this process have survived. In particular, he is the first known person to have documented the pulmonary circuit. His work was largely unnoticed until found in Berlin in 1924, and as a result, credit for the modern concept of the blood circulation is generally given to William Harvey.
[edit] Manner of death
Wasn't he accused of heresy and ordered killed for his work on the circulatory system?
