| The current article is an attempt to present a report on Ibn Sina’s (Avicenna) life, a more or less complete introduction of his book “Canon of Medicine”, the introduction of a collection of relatively important manuscripts, and the introduction of the most important commentaries on this book. Considering the importance of producing knowledge by introducing Canon of Medicine, the study and review of this book from different aspects and perspectives is in fact an attempt to comprehensively examine one of the most important medical works of the Islamic era. This article is based on this approach and aims to introduce the text and the structure of the Canon of Medicine. |
