The works of Ibn Sina in the Süleymaniye Manuscript Library.

Ibn Sina (980-1038), often known by his Latin name of Avicenna, is considered by European medical historians to be one of the most renowned scientists of Islam (also contributing to other fields such as psychology, geology, mathematics, chemistry, astronomy and logic) and famous persons of all races, places, and times. His works in the Süleymaniye Manuscript Library are invaluable as their significance transcends the boundaries of time and culture. This collection of manuscripts is still widely used by Turkish and foreign scholars and his portrait is hung at the Hall of the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Paris.
