Abstract
This chapter discusses the study on the medical heritage of Avicenna. Avicenna was the disciple of Aristotle. He learned much in medicine from Hippocrates and Galen. He first equaled and then outgrew his masters in knowledge and in its interpretation and application. The roots of his views can be found in the culture, ideology, and work of the Oriental philosophers and scholars. Ibn-abi-Usaybiah pointed out that it was Abu Mansur who persuaded Avicenna to study medicine and that his teacher was the Christian-Nestorian Abu Sahl al-Masihi, philosopher and physician. It was Abu Sahl al-Masihi who first recognized young Avicenna's abilities, introduced him to medicine and persuaded him to engage himself seriously in it. It must not be forgotten that Avicenna's activity and heritage have had a great impact on the development of modern medicine.
