According to User:Wetman's sources (from the Dioscurides article he had written), the later additions to the Materia Medica were more than just inconsequential notes: " Many Arabic advances in medicine appeared in the form of commentaries on the Materia Medica ". I'll leave it up to someone else to verify the situation.
I changed the statement in the earlier version of the article: "All that was written in these later manuscripts were minor additions, etc." because it wasn't accurate. Most additions probably were minor notes---but not all. Alexander 007 05:25, 26 Mar 2005 (UTC)
