摘　　要：成书于公元 11世纪初的《医典》 ,是世界医学史上一部重要的医学经典 ,长期被欧洲、阿拉伯国家和地区及北非诸国奉为医学指南。中世纪的欧洲将该书作为权威性的医学教科书一直沿用了70 0余年。据统计 ,在活字印刷术发明以后 ,《医典》印刷次数之多 ,仅次于《圣经》。其著者是具有“阿拉伯医学王子”美誉的阿维森纳。欧美学者非常重视对阿维森纳《医典》的研究 ;然而至今 ,人们并不知道阿氏医学中已经整合与融入了中医药学的许多内容。所以 ,我们通过对阿维森纳《医典》的研究 ,可将中医药学传播到欧洲、影响西医学的历史时限推进到公元 11世纪 ,即我国宋代。该研究为东西方医学交流史提供了重要线索。Written at the beginning of the 11th century, the medical book Avicenna's Canon of Medicine is one of important medical classics in world medical history. It was regarded as the medical guide in Europe, Arab countries and Northern African countries for a long time. This book was used as an authoritative textbook for more than 700 years in the mediaeval Europe. According to the statistics, the number of the reprinting times of Avicenna's Canon of Medicine is only less than that of the Bible after the invention of typography. The author of Avicenna's Canon of Medicine is Avicenna as the book's title implies, who enjoyed a good reputation and was titled as Arab's medical prince. Although American-European scholars have been paying great attention to the research of Avicenna's Canon of Medicine, they have not known that there is much TCM content in it up to now. By studying Avicenna's Canon of Medicine, we can know that the time of the introduction of TCM to Europe, which influenced the history of Western medicine, can be traced back to the 11th century, namely during the Song Dynasty of China. The study of Avicenna's Canon of Medicine has found another important clue to the history of the medical exchange between the East and West.
