Books four and five of "al-Qānūn fī al-ṭibb" (Canon of medicine), a comprehensive work on Arabic medicine, by Ibn Sīnā (Avicenna, 980-1037) who was born near Bukhara (in present-day Uzbekistan). 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.
