Avicenna's Canon of Medicine (c. 1025) was translated into Latin and stayed a core textbook in European universities for centuries. So when Venice held ships offshore for 40 days, it was building on a medical tradition he helped shape. 🩺

Avicenna’s Floating Man thought experiment asks whether self-awareness can be demonstrated independently of sensory experience and awareness of one’s own body.

Welcome new followers! (I just got 100 more!) I'm a historian of medicine, w/ a focus on the premodern world (before 1500). I mostly work on Europe, but I also pursue questions w/ global implications--like the book I'm doing on the Black Death. Big on pedagogy & I welcome questions!
About my avatar image. This is a decorated letter 'M' initial from a 14th-century copy of the most important textbook in medicine in the later Middle Ages: Avicenna's Canon of Medicine, which was translated from Arabic into Latin in the 12th century. Source: Letter 'M' from Utrecht Hs. 681 (Hs 4 E 10) f. 67r.

Bluesky profile page for @monicaMedHist (Monica H Green). The avatar shows a decorated letter "M" from a 13th-century copy of Avicenna's Canon of Medicine. The banner image is a detail from a 14th-century preacher's encyclopedia, showing the initial "C" for "cimiteria" (cemetery).

Nearly a millennium later, his influence still spans cultures, continents and disciplines. My younger brother is named after him

Almost a decade ago, I had the privilege of visiting Avicenna’s birthplace in Afshana, a village near Bukhara in present-day Uzbekistan.

Avicenna's Canon of Medicine.

You can get this on a shield should you so desire.

This image is from a 13th-century Parisian manuscript of Avicenna's Canon of Medicine. The illustration depicts a medical scenario, likely illustrating elephantiasis, a condition causing severe swelling, particularly in the limbs or scrotum.It is often referred to in modern humor as "The Miracle of the Testicles".

A stylized map of a seaside city in teal-blue and black outlines. A large orange box placed on the map reads "the green zone" To the bottom right are 6 black and white photos depicting city life and locations. Text reads: Avicenna New Madrassa THE MOST POPULUS CITY IN THE SHORE, AVICENNA'S EARLIEST SETTLERS WERE FIRST COMMITTEE FIRE AND FORGET COLONISTS. IN THE NEARLY FIVE THOUSAND YEARS SINCE, IT HAS GROWN INTO A METROPOLIS OF TWENTY ONE MILLION SOULS, A PATCHWORK CITY WITH A PATCHWORK HISTORY. AVICENNA IS THE FULCRUM CITY OF NEW MADRASSA. THOUGH INDEPENDANT IT SHARES A HISTORY OF EXCHANGE WITH THE BARONIES, WHO HOLD A MAJOR EMBASSEY IN THE AVERROE DISTRICT. SEVENTY YEARS AGO, THE PURVIEW ESTABLISHED THE GREEN ZONE, AN EIGHT BY EIGHT KILOMETER PREMITER ACROSS AVICENNAS OLD TOWN. FORTIFIED AND PLACED ON HERITAGE GROUND, THE GREEN ZONE IS CONTROVERSIAL AT BEST. IT ACTS AS GROUND ZERO FOR ARMORY COUNTERTERRORISM, A HIGHLY MILITERIZED PEACEKEEPING FORCE PLANTED BY HARRISON ACROSS AVICENNA, AN OCCUPATION IN ALL BUT NAME. DESPITE POPULAR PRESSURE, THE GREEN ZONE ONLY EXPANDS EACH YEAR.

Hmm. You must be assuming something about what counts as influence. There are a lot of Humeans in ethics that unwittingly misinterpret Hume on key points. Avicenna's psychology was Peripatetic but there is nothing like the inner sense in De Anima. Easy to multiply examples
