	THE IRANIAN: Abu Ali Sina, Avicenna, Farid Parsa

		Lest anyone panics, Rayy - his artist’s pseudonym, he refuses to give his real name - admires Damien Hirst but is not inspired to produce the kind of butchered works of farm animals pickled in formaldehyde for which the art world’s enfant terrible is infamous.
		Instead Rayy, 35, has carved a niche for himself, so to speak, by developing his old skills to create sculptures out of man-made debris from Lothians beaches.
		Rayy recalls the winding route which took him from butcher to sculptor.

		One of the greatest names in medieval medicine is that of Abu Bakr Muhammad ibn Zakariya' al-Razi, who was born in the Iranian City of Rayy in 865 (251 H) and died in the same town about 925 (312 H).

		For example, he said that in his experience in hospitals in Baghdad and Rayy he had seen as many cases whose courses did not follow Galen's description of fevers as did.

		This accepted version of the story was first called into question by Watson, whose theory is that the so-called "Rayy" styles were instead produced at Kashan, with the "Rayy" styles dating slightly earlier than the "Kashan" style.
		He renames the types and suggests a chronology for their development: the earliest "Rayy" style he calls the "Monumental" style, the second the "Miniature" style; after this comes the "Kashan" style.
