Answer:

- Ibn Sina’s book, the Canon of Medicine

Step-by-step explanation:

Abū ʿAlī al-Ḥusayn ibn ʿAbd Allāh ibn Sīnā, generally abbreviated to ibn Sīnā (from Sīnā (Iran)), Latinized as Avicenna (Afshana, present-day Uzbekistan c. 980 - Hamadan, Iran, June 1037) was a Persian polymath, probably the most important philosopher in the Islamic tradition and the most influential philosopher of the premodern era.

He stood out among other areas in the field of medicine, and his main work, the Canon of Medicine (al-Qanun fi'l-Tibb) continued to be used as a medical manual at universities in Europe and the Islamic world until the beginning. of the modern period. As a philosopher, his main work is The Healing (al-Shifa '), which had a decisive impact on European scholasticism, especially on Aquinas.
