Commentary: On Ibn Sīnā’s Canon of Medicine

This is the first commentary written on Ibn Sīnā’s Canon of Medicine (al-Qānūn fī ’l-ṭibb) and was titled the Book on Clarifying the Concealed by Correcting the Canon (Kitāb al-taṣrīḥ bi-’l-maknūn fī tanqīḥ al-Qānūn). Commentaries on the medical work by Ibn Sīnā, who died in 1037, became a flourishing genre for hundreds of years following Ibn Jumay‘. Throughout his commentary, Ibn Jumay‘ deals with linguistic considerations.
