Similarly, under the definition of the word pestilence, Forman quoted the Arabic medical authorities Haly Abbas and Avicenna, and concluded But I sale the pestilence or plague of pestilence is an infectiouse disease and infecteth the blode of man by reason of the ayer or smell therof whereof ensueth the botch and the blain and the token.Again he supported his position with examples from the Bible. 

Phny the Elder, Pedanius Dioskurides De materia medica, 77 AD) and a little later, the most important gynaecologist of ancient times, Soranus of Ephesus On Midwifery and the Diseases of Women, 100 AD), already wrote about contraception and abortion. Reference thereof can also be found in the thriving Arabic medicine of the 10th century, as, for example, in works by Muhammad ibn Zakariya Razi (Rhazes, Quintessence of Experience), Ah ibn al-Abbas al-Majusi (Haly Abbas, Royal Book) and Abu Ah al-Husain ibn Abdullah ibn Sina (Avicenna, Canon of Medicine).
