Description: The "Prince of Physicians" started his practice at an early age. Even as a teen in the eleventh century, Avicenna advised royalty and was famous for his extensive understanding of the human body. His beginnings as a child prodigy coupled with his persistent quest for knowledge contributed to Avicenna's reputation as one of history's most prominent physicians. Illustrations from the Indo-Persian tradition complement the text.
