The Kulliyat ({{langx|ar|الـكـلّـيـات في الـطـب|al-Kulliyāt fi al-ṭibb|The General Principles of Medicine}}), mostly known by its Latin translation as Colliget, is a medical encyclopedia written by the Andalusian polymath Averroes.{{cite web|url=http://www.wdl.org/ar/item/10673/|title=ملخص لأعمال ابن زهر وابن رشد الطبية|publisher=}} The title of the book is opposite to "The Specificities of Medicine" ({{langx|ar|جزئیات في الـطـب|al-Juzʾiyyāt fi al-ṭibb}}), which was written by his friend ibn Zuhr. The two collaborated, intending that their books complement each other.* {{cite book|title=Averroes: A Rationalist in Islam|year=2000|orig-year=1998|first=Roger|last=Arnaldez|translator=David Streight|publisher=University of Notre Dame Press|isbn=0268020086 |pages=28–29}} Written between 1153 and 1169, the Colliget was eventually translated into Medieval Hebrew and Latin and became a widely used textbook in Europe until the 18th century.{{cite journal |last1=Tbakhi |first1=Abdelghani |last2=Amr |first2=Samir S. |title=Ibn Rushd (Averroës): Prince of Science |journal=Annals of Saudi Medicine |date=2008 |volume=28 |issue=2 |pages=145–147 |doi=10.5144/0256-4947.2008.145 |pmid=18398288 |pmc=6074522 }}
