UNESCO Memory of the World lists Canon-related medical manuscripts for conservation and access

The 2005 inscription of medieval medical-pharmacy manuscripts, including a Canon Book II, is also a conservation-and-access policy. In the causal graph this event strengthens Digital Learning Access, a driver that weakens Learning Poverty Rate (low- and middle-income countries) — an improving welfare path.

Read the full account

The 2005 inscription of medieval medical-pharmacy manuscripts, including a Canon Book II, is also a conservation-and-access policy. Listing creates duties to preserve and to make the objects known.

Context

Split the living-recipe risk onto the worsening Book II row. High confidence on 2005.

Avicenna is not the sole author of every later object, law, or museum label that uses the name. Shared work with courts, excavators, printers, spouses, officials, and later states does not erase a documented role, and it does not make an ancient person the signer of a twentieth-century statute.
