[Sca-cooks] Avicenna

[Terry Decker]

Not to my knowledge.  His major work was the "Canon of Medicine," which is
fairly esoteric for most audiences.  His medical philosophy of food follows
Galen and his work on cordials is not as beverages, but as medicines.  You
might check to see if the Avicenna Studies Group has anything posted.

The Canon is in print at $89, but you might want to check out The
Traditional Healer and The Traditional Healer's Handbook, both by Hakin
G.M.Chisti or Avicenna, His Life and Works by Soheil Muhsin Afnan.  I
haven't read these, so I don't know if they touch on the subjects you are
researching.
