Abstract

Abu Ali Hussein was born in 980 in a village near Bukhara. At the age of five, he entered the elementary Muslim school, which he graduated by 990. The child received further education at home, studying mathematics, physics, logic, law, astronomy, philosophy, geography and other subjects. In those same years, he wrote his first treatises.
 Avicenna began to practice medicine before reaching the age of 12, and very quickly became a famous doctor. In gratitude for curing the emir of Bukhara, he gets access to the Bukhara library. Since 1008, after refusing to enter the service of Sultan Mahmud, Ghaznev Ibn Sina has been forced to lead a wanderer. Ibn Sina was the author of more than a hundred scientific works. Around 1020, he completed work on the Canon, which has survived more than thirty editions, being a textbook for studying medicine at European universities for five centuries. The Canon was one of the first printed books, and in terms of the number of publications it competed with the Bible. Until his death, Avicenna could not return to his homeland, wandering in a foreign land from one city to another. He experienced hardships, getting into prison, rose to the heights of power, becoming a vizier, lived in luxury and poverty, but did not stop his creative and scientific work. His property was plundered more than once, his library was lost. Abu Ali Hussein Ibn Sina died in 1037. For religious reasons, 100 years after his death in the main square of Baghdad, his philosophical books were burned, and after several hundred years in Europe, five volumes of the Canon of Medicine will be the first printed edition after the Bible
