On Avicenna's Stories

"Avicenna's Philosophical Stories: Aristotle's Poetics Reinterpreted," by Sarah Stroumsa. Arabica, Vol. 39, Fasc. 2 (July, 1992), pp. 183-206. 

The author is not unsympathetic to Corbin's claims but she provides an alternative interpretation, while taking the stories place within Avicenna's corpus seriously, unlike some other scholars.

Pattern from Madrassa - Bukhara.
