Abū ʿAlī al-Ḥusayn ibn ʿAbd Allāh ibn Sīnā (Persian پورسينا Pur Sina [ˈpuːr ˈsiːnɑː] "son of Sina"; c. 980, Afshana near Bukhara– 1037, Hamadan, Iran), commonly known as Ibn Sīnā or by his Latinized name Avicenna, was a Persianpolymath, who wrote almost 450 treatises on a wide range of subjects, of which around 240 have survived. In particular, 150 of his surviving treatises concentrate on philosophy and 40 of them concentrate on medicine.
His most famous works are The Book of Healing, a vast philosophical and scientific encyclopaedia, and The Canon of Medicine, which was a standard medical text at many medieval universities. The Canon of Medicine was used as a text-book in the universities of Montpellier and Leuven as late as 1650. Ibn Sīnā's Canon of Medicine provides a complete system of medicine according to the principles of Galen (and Hippocrates).
His corpus also includes writing on philosophy, astronomy, alchemy, geology, psychology, Islamic theology, logic, mathematics, physics, as well as poetry. He is regarded as the most famous and influential polymath of the Islamic Golden Age.
Un barrage policier
Pour un rebelle évadé
Une cité quadrillée
Pour un délinquant armé
C'est le plan Epervier
Lois d'urgence pour tuer
Hommes de sécurité
Comme des chiens excités
Un bourreau assoiffé
Du sang des condamnés
Y'a un évadé qui fuit
Tout au coeur de la nuit
Et des miradors crachent
Une lumière blanche et lâche
Une prison transformée
Et un camp retranché
Un rebelle évadé
D'une centrale en acier
Une division blindée
Préparée pour chasser
Images de déportation
Surgissent dans ma mémoire
Je veux la Grande Evasion
Pour les taulards, le Grand Soir!
LI-BE-REZ-LES! (2x)
Liberté... liberté...
