Abstract
One of the most outstanding names in history of Islamic science of the Middle Ages is without any doubt that of the Persian scholar Ibn Sina, Avicenna (980-1037), and his work Al-Qanun fi-l-tibb (Canon of Medicine) is one of the most representative writings of the medieval Arabic medicine. It is due to its importance that this encyclopedic book has had many editions and translations into other languages from the Middle Ages to the present day. This paper is an approach to the study of Canon of Medicine and it specifies the manuscripts, the editions and the translations existing about it.
