Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Who killed King Almalik I?

Answer: Ammar ibn Khairan

Ammar disguised himself as a palace slave and handed Almalik I a orange with poison on it from the towel that he had. This was while the king was vociferously ordering his generals to seek and bring Ammar to him.

2. What did Jehane leave at Husari ibn Musa's house?

Answer: Her urine flask

The beautiful urine flask was passed down from her father, and to Jehane, it represented all she loved about her family and her career. It was also a highly useful tool for Jehane to study the illnesses that appeared in her patients' urine samples.

3. What is the doctor's symbol?

Answer: The owl

The owl represents the 'white moon and the pursuit of knowledge,' which we learn after Mazur ben Avren gives Jehane the elegant owl mask for the Ragosa festival. The owl is sacred to medicine because an owl's head had been carved in the staff of Galinus, the father of all physicians.

4. Which hand does Prince Hazem ibn Almalik lose in the course of the novel?

Answer: Right

After rubbing his runny nose multiple times with his right hand--which is a vile sin in the religion of Ashar, as well as a filthy habit--Hazem touches Yazir with his right hand. Yazir's brother, Ghalib, loses his patience with the prince, and chops the offending hand off without warning.

5. What part of Hazem ibn Almalik's body did Ghalib actually want to cut off (More so than the hand)?

Answer: His tongue

Ghalib tells his brother that it would be much easier to endure Hazem's visit to them if he can just cut out the prince's tongue.

6. How did Velaz die?

Answer: Killed by assassins intended for Rodrigo

Velaz, the loyal family servant of Jehane, saves Rodrigo Belmonte's life by trying to ward off the assassins even though he has only ever been a doctor's servant for his entire life.

7. Who saves Diego Belmonte's life?

Answer: Ishak

Ishak, Jehane's mute and blind father, performs the only instance of brain surgery on Diego after a Muwardi slams Diego in the head with a hammer. Jehane and another doctor both believed it beyond their skill to save the boy's life.

8. What is the name of the procedure that saves Diego Belmonte's life?

Answer: Trepanning

Trepanning, according to the book, entails letting the liquid build up from the injury, brain drain off the brain to release pressure within the skull. After this procedure, Diego only had a mild fever.

9. What mask does ibn Hassan wear as he celebrates the Ragosa festival?

Answer: Lioness

Ibn Hassan, the famed bandit, disguises himself as a lioness to try to take his hostage sons back from King Badir.

10. What does Miranda say about the statue dedicated to Rodrigo?

Answer: Looks nothing like him

Miranda tells Jehane and Ammar, in a letter, that the statue looks nothing like Rodrigo, but that it was too hard to fight the will of both her sons to keep them from moving Rodrigo's body.
