DUSHANBE, April 17 - A book entitled “110 recommendations from Ibn Sina” by Tajik researchers Yusuf Nouraliyev and Saidjon Nodiri has been republished in Bulgaria.  

Nodiri said in an interview with Asia-Plus that the book contains materials about herbs and methods of internationally known medieval physician and scientist Abu Ali ibn Sina to prepare medicines.  

The book was published in the Russian language and they also planned to publish its version in the Persian language.  For the first time, the book was published in St. Petersburg in 1999. 

Ibn Sina (full name Ab? ‘Al? al-Husayn ibn ‘Abd All?h ibn S?n? al-Bal kh ?; also known as Avicenna, born 980, dead 1037) was a Persian (Tajik) physician, Philosopher, and scientist.  Avicenna was born around 980 (370 AH) in Afshana near Bukhara and died in 1037 (428 AH) in Hamadan (Iran). 

He authored some 450 books on a wide range of subjects, many of which concentrated on philosophy and medicine.  His most famous works are The Book of Healing and The Canon of Medicine, which was for almost five centuries a standard medical text at many European universities.
