Abstract
This article examines the principles used to systematize medical knowledge in Abu Ali ibn Sina’s Al-Qanun fi al-Tibb (The Canon of Medicine) and its significance in the history of medicine. It analyzes the work’s five-book structure, its classification of medicinal substances, and the progression from general medical principles to particular diseases and remedies. Special attention is given to the Latin translation of the text and its circulation in European medical education, illustrating how scientific knowledge was transmitted across languages and intellectual traditions.
