"Tausende von Nachrichten, Notizen, Zitaten sind von ihm in der ganzen islamischen Literatur zerstreut, weshalb es für ihn wie für Gazali eine völlige Unmöglichkeit bleibt, eine vollständige Bibliographie zu sammeln." [Horten (1958), 307]
"über 100 authentischen Schriften (neben ebensovielen Spuria handschriftlich erhalten, nur z. T. gedruckt" [Endreß (1980), 1299].
"Seine absolute, innere Bedeutung ist die eines epochalen Denkers, einer der ersten Größen der Menschheit überhaupt." [Horten (1958), 307]
"einflußreichster Philosoph und Arzt des islamischen Ostens im Mittelalter" [Endreß (1980), 1298sq.].
"Avicenna´s commentaries on Aristotle are lost, and none of the extant books by him can count as a paraphrase of an Aristotelian work." [Hasse (2000), 67]
