Ibn-Sina (Avicenna) – Doctor of Doctors
Ibn-Sina was born in 980 A.D. He displayed exceptional intellectual prowess as a child and at the age of ten was already proficient in the Qur’an (Koran) and the Arabic classics. During the next six years he devoted himself to Muslim Jurisprudence, philosophy, and natural sciences, and studied logic.
He turned his attention to medicine at the age of 17 and found it in his own words “not difficult”. By the age of 18 he had reputation of a physician and was summoned to attend the Samani ruler Nuh Ibn Mansur who, in gratitude for Ibn-Sina’s services allowed him to make free use of the royal library which contained many rare and even unique books. At the age of 21 Ibn-Sina was in a position to compose his first book.
At about the same time he lost his father. Soon he left Bukhara and wandered westwards. He moved to Ray near modern Teheran and established a busy medical practice. He cured Amir Shamsud-Dawala of colic and was made Prime Minister. His life at this time was very stenuous, during the day he was busy with the Amir’s services, while a great deal of the night was passed in lecturing and dictating notes for his books.
Following the death of the Amir, Ibn-Sina fled to Isfahan. He spent his final years in the services of the ruler of the city whom he advised on scientific and literary matters and accompanied on military compaigns. Ibn-Sina died in 1036 at the age of 58. He was burried in Hamadon where his grave is still shown.
