He is known for his commentary on theMujaz, which was an epitome made in the 13th century byIbn al-Nafis ofThe Canon of Medicine ofAvicenna.
Al-Aqsara'i studied medicine with his father, under whose tutelage he first read the Mujaz. Thereafter he studiedThe Canon of Medicine itself, as well as theHawi byRazi and theComplete Book on Medicine byal-Majusi, as well as the medical writings ofNajib al-Din al-Samarqandi. He employed these other treatises in his commentary on the Mujaz, and he titled his commentary "The Key to theMujaz" (Hall al-Mujaz).
