Abstract
The paper presents a research of a manuscript copy of the medical work Cantica canticorum cum commento Averrois, which is kept in the Metropolitan Library in Zagreb, and the translation was made in the 14th century. This codex has been subjected to paleographic and orthographic analysis and historical medical conceptualization of content. In addition to presenting hitherto unknown data on this codex, the paper provides an overview of other medieval medical codices that are part of the Metropolitan Library’s collection as well as others kept in other libraries in Croatia, and presents the results of their previous research. The paper highlights medieval medical codices, and especially the analyzed Avicenna Codex, as important artifacts for tracing the ways of spreading knowledge and perceptions of ancient medical and philosophical thought within Arab and medieval medical doctrines.
