| Avicenna’s definition of medicine in his Canon established a foundational epistemological framework that also provoked a vibrant critical commentary tradition, predominantly centered in the Persian intellectual sphere. While this critical current is well-studied, the response it elicited remains underexplored. This article introduces and analyzes a previously unstudied anonymous Arabic treatise, dedicated to the Ottoman Sultan Bayezid II (r. 1481–1512), which offers a sophisticated philosophical defense of Avicenna’s definition. Through a close textual analysis, this study deconstructs the author’s meticulous arguments. The defense reaffirms medicine’s status as a ‘science’ (ʿilm) by defining it as encompassing both certain (yaqīnī) and conjectural (ẓannī) knowledge; it establishes Avicenna’s formulation as superior to al-Fārābī’s by highlighting its inclusion of preventative medicine; and it demonstrates the definition’s structural coherence by aligning it with the four Aristotelian causes. The study concludes that this treatise is vital evidence of a dynamic, cross-regional intellectual dialogue. As a direct response to the Eastern critical tradition, the work exemplifies the ‘entangled histories’ of Iran and Türkiye, revealing an integrated scholarly landscape where a shared Avicennan heritage was actively debated, contested, and defended across cultural and political boundaries. | ||
