Al Qanoon Fil Tib (The Canon of Medicine) is a famous medical encyclopedia written by the Persian physician and philosopher Avicenna (Ibn Sina) in the 11th century. It is considered one of the most influential and comprehensive works in the history of medicine, covering various aspects of anatomy, physiology, pathology, diagnosis, treatment, and pharmacology. The Canon of Medicine was translated into Latin, Hebrew, and other languages, and became a standard reference for medical students and practitioners in Europe and the Islamic world for centuries.
The Canon of Medicine consists of five books: The first book deals with general principles and theories of medicine; the second book covers materia medica and pharmacology; the third book discusses specific diseases from head to toe; the fourth book focuses on systemic diseases and emergencies; and the fifth book contains formularies and compound drugs. The Canon of Medicine is based on the principles of Galen and Hippocrates, but also incorporates Avicenna's own observations and experiments, as well as the knowledge of other ancient and contemporary sources.
