(Arabic Ibn Sina) 979-1037. Arabian
philosopher and physician. He was the most
renowned philospher of medieval Islam. His
Canon Medicinae was a standard work for many
centuries. His philosophical writings were
influenced by al-Farabi, Aristotle, and the
Neo-Platonists, and in turn influenced the
scholastics of the 13th century.
