Seyed Esmail Jorjani is one of the greatest Iranian physicians (1042-1136 AC), he has written a book entitled Zakhirah-I Khvarazm Shahi (known as Zachariah). This book is oldest medical encyclopedias written in Persian, it contains a complete subject about hernia. Jorjani described anatomy of anterior abdominal wall and its layers include peritoneum, process vaginalis and tunica vaginalis of testis. He argued about hernias from pathology and etiological point of view and classified abdominal hernias in thousand years ago. European Hernia Society classified the hernias into: lateral, medial and femoral (2007). Birindelli classified anterior abdominal hernias into groin hernias, ventral hernias (2017). Jorjani classified hernia into visceral, flatus, hydrocele (1130AC). The findings of this paper show the hernias subject of Zachariah has no scientific contradiction with new references.
