Opera in Lucem Redacta
English translations of this work exist from another source language, but this specific text has never been translated.
The 1508 'Opera in Lucem Redacta' is a collection of Avicenna's works in medieval Latin translation. While major individual works contained within this collection (such as the Metaphysics or De Anima) have been translated into English from their original Arabic, there is no evidence of a complete English translation of this specific 1508 Latin collection. Furthermore, modern scholarship on Avicenna focuses on translations from the original Arabic, not from the medieval Latin versions. Therefore, this collection has not been translated from the Latin source.
