However, was he ­considered an inspiration by physicians of this era ? This study questions whether Avicenna was ever used as an example of an actual medical practitioner, and shows that this was almost never the case. More often than not, the Italian doctors of the time would focus only on a few short biographical details, but would show little interest in his life as a whole. On the other hand, the Canon of medicine, ­Avicenna’s main encyclopedic work, was used as a model of good writing : the authors of numerous medical treaties written in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries followed it, or tried to adapt their works so as to mold them into a similar structure. It is in this way that the Canon can be said to have “modeled” medical thinking at the end of the Middle Ages and in the early Modern period.
