Avicenna Canon of Medicine Volume 5: Pharmacopia and Index of the Complete Five Volumes
Avicenna divided Volume 5 into two parts. Part 1 contains the formulas for compound medications arranged according to the various types of preparations that he found in the previous medical books translated into Arabic from Greek and Syriac. In Part 2 he includes the compound medications arranged according to treating diseases from head to toe that were based on his own experience and usage with patients. Volume 5 contains more than 800 pharmacologically tested complex formulas with thorough descriptions of their application and effectiveness. This volume not only contains an index of its contents organized by healing properties, but also a comprehensive 400 page index of all five volumes based on the names of the natural healers and what they heal.
