# The U.S. National Library of Medicine publishes a public Canon page in Islamic Culture and the Medical Arts

Date: 1994

## The fact

In 1994 NLM’s History of Medicine exhibition Islamic Culture and the Medical Arts placed a public English page on the Canon, including MS A 53 as a complete Arabic witness. [Avicenna](/people/avicenna) did not write HTML. A national library page is a stable teaching URL.

National Library of Medicine publishes a public Canon page in Islamic Culture and the Medical Arts (1994-01-01).

## Context

Exhibition prose can simplify. The page still warns that the encyclopedia is historical. High confidence on the public instrument.

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.

## Evidence and sources

The named official or archival page and the independent publisher independently describe this instrument.

Official or archival record: NLM — Islamic Culture and the Medical Arts: The Canon of Avicenna (https://www.nlm.nih.gov/exhibition/islamic_medical/islamic_07.html; U.S. National Library of Medicine).

## Significance

An NLM Canon page is a public-history access path, not a medical licence.

## What is established and what is not

Established as a dated public record of this instrument.

What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions.

The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit.
