And he died in the year of plague, 1058. A Christian philosopher of Bagh- dad, Abu Bathlan, writes about this plague, which started its career when he was at Constantinople. After the cemeteries had been filled, four thou- sand people were interred within the church of 72 LAST ILLNESS OF ABU'L ALA Luke the Physician. Then the plague spread over Persia. Provinces were pillaged, for the population found black tumours clinging to them, while their spleen distended, and the science of the doctor wa...s of no avail. But if they could not stop the plague, they could at any rate ex- plain the cause of it. The sages in Constantinople said that it was owing to the comet of the year 1054, whereas the men of Egypt pointed to the flooding of the Nile, which had not happened in the year 1053. Ibn Bathlan makes a list of eighteen savants who were victims of the plague ; the last of them is Abu'l Ala. On the third day of his illness he requested those who were about him to put down the words of his dictation, but he sank from consciousness.
