The 'Liber Canonis Medicinae' is a Latin translation of Avicenna's original Arabic work 'al-Qanun fi'l-tibb'. While several English translations of the 'Canon of Medicine' exist (such as those by Laleh Bakhtiar and O. Cameron Gruner), these are translations from the original Arabic, not from the specific 1522 Latin edition. No English translation of the Latin text itself has been identified.
