Avicenna was the most famous and influential scholar, scientist, and philosopher of the medieval world. He was foremost a physician, but was also an astronomer, chemist, geologist, psychologist, philosopher, logician, mathematician, physicist, and poet. His al-Qānūn fī al-ṭibb became the authoritative reference on medicine in the Middle Ages, not only in the Islamic world, but, in its Latin translations, in Europe as well. The present manuscript consists of book four (folios 1b-156b) and book five (folios 157a-211a) of a five volume set. Book five is called "al-Aqrābādhīn" (pharmacology, materia medica). Name of copyist and place and date of copying not mentioned, probably from the 19th century.</dc:description><dc:description>16.5 x 30.5 cm; written surface: 12.5 x 22.5 cm; 29 lines per page.</dc:description><dc:description>Binding: In modern dark brown leather binding with flap; spine and flap embossed with central medallions; covers embossed corner decorations.</dc:description><dc:description>Colophon: "Tamma kitāb al-Aqrābādīn bi-tamāmih min kitāb al-Qānūn fī al-ṭibb lil-Shaykh al-Raʼīs wa-al-ḥamdu lillāh ʻalá dhālika ḥamdan lā ghāyah la-hā wa-ṣallá [Allāh ʻalá] al-Nabī al-Hāshimī Abṭaḥī [al-Abṭaḥī] wa-ʻalá ālihi wa-aṣḥābihi ṣalātan lā mithla la-hā.
