## Bio

Ibn Sina was born around 980 and moved through the courts of various Iranian rulers during the Islamic Golden Age, writing in both Arabic and Persian. He produced The Book of Healing, a philosophical and scientific encyclopedia, and The Canon of Medicine, which became standard curriculum at medieval European universities and remained in use until 1650. His method combined empirical observation with Aristotelian logic—a fusion that made him one of the Muslim world's greatest Peripatetic philosophers. Of the 450 works attributed to him, around 240 survive: 150 on philosophy, 40 on medicine, plus treatises on astronomy, alchemy, geology, psychology, theology, mathematics, and physics. He died on 22 June 1037, leaving a corpus that bridged Baghdad and Bologna.
