In the following survey of theories of reproduction and pre-natal development in medieval Arabic medicine, the first part outlines the historical and methodological premises, indicates the major Greek sources (Corpus Hippocraticum, Aristotle, Galen) and introduces the Arabic texts relevant to the subject. In the second part three examples taken from Ibn Sīnās' Canon medicinae are presented to substantiate the supposition that the particular contribution of medieval Islam in the field of reproduction (which continued into the Latin Middle Ages) lay in the merging and harmonisation of data of various origins and concepts developed in different explanatory contexts within the Greek tradition.
在以下对中世纪阿拉伯医学中生殖与产前发育理论的调查中，第一部分概述了历史和方法论前提，指出了主要的希腊来源（《希波克拉底文集》、亚里士多德、盖伦），并介绍了与该主题相关的阿拉伯文本。第二部分呈现了从伊本·西那的《医典》中选取的三个例子，以证实这样一种假设，即中世纪伊斯兰教在生殖领域（这一领域延续至拉丁中世纪）的特殊贡献在于将希腊传统中不同解释背景下产生的各种来源的数据和概念进行了融合与协调。
