#Persian philosopher

• Avicenna — A simplified graphic or phonetic variant used in charts, early medieval treatises, and some old encyclopedias for Avicenna, the Latinized name of Ibn Sina (980–1037), the legendary Persian philosopher, physician, logician, and polymath. Although modern Romanian has stabilized the form Avicenna, this variant reflects a direct adaptation based on early French philological patterns (Avicenne), keeping intact the historical importance of the author of the 'Canon of Medicine'.
