# UNESCO’s 2005 pharmacy-manuscript listing feeds later industrial Unani branding of the Canon

Date: 2005

## The fact

The 2005 Memory of the World inscription of Canon-related pharmacy manuscripts is a completed heritage-policy act. Later traditional-medicine industries, including Unani pharmacy, cite such listings as a production heading. [Avicenna](/people/avicenna) did not run a modern factory. Industrial policy that treats a medieval encyclopedia as a living pharmacopoeia can crowd laboratory standards.

## Context

Heritage listing also funds conservation, stored as improving.

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: UNESCO Memory of the World — Medieval manuscripts on medicine and pharmacy (https://www.unesco.org/en/memory-world/medieval-manuscripts-medicine-and-pharmacy; UNESCO).

## Significance

A listed Canon-pharmacy can become an industrial traditional-medicine heading. Medium confidence on later factory coefficients.

## 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.
