Background and Aim: One of the most important factors in the codification and development of medical knowledge in Islamic civilization was the influence of Muslims by the medical school of Jondishapour. The establishment of this scientific center and the presence of its physicians in the court of the Islamic Caliphate gradually provided the grounds for the systematization of medical sciences. This research aims to investigate and analyze the tradition of compendium writing and to explain the process of its formation and expansion in Islamic civilization based on available historical sources. Methods: This research has been conducted using a descriptive-analytical method, based on library resources related to the early Islamic centuries. Ethical Considerations: In writing this research, the principles of academic integrity, authenticity of sources and avoidance of bias have been observed. Results: The results indicate that compendiums were the product of practical experience and the daily activities of physicians who recorded their knowledge in the fields of disease diagnosis and treatment, description of simple drugs, health instructions and medical prohibitions. These works functioned like encyclopedias in the field of medicine and encompassed various sections, including theoretical and practical medicine. Conclusion: The tradition of compendium writing was one of the most important factors in the transfer and localization of medical knowledge from neighboring regions to Islamic civilization. Jondishapour, as a scientific center composed of diverse medical schools, played a fundamental role in the formation and expansion of this tradition. Muslims, by utilizing it, developed and organized medical knowledge in the form of compendium writing.
