About this book

Avicenna’s (980–1037) monumental oeuvre played a decisive role in shaping the philosophy of the Islamic cultural sphere and had a huge impact over a period of centuries. Umar ibn Sahlān as-Sāwī (fl. ca. 1130) was one of the earliest authors to engage intensively with his writings and helped to disseminate them. This study delves into as-Sāwī’s life and work, in particular the way in which he received Avicenna.
