The purpose of this paper is to offer an overview of the manuscripts that preserve the commentaries on the most important Peripatetic summa of Ibn Sīnā (Avicenna, 980–1037), i.e. Kitāb al-Šifāʾ (Book of the healing/cure), preserved in India and compiled to a large extent during the Safavid reign (16th–18th). The amount of testimonia exemplifies the extraordinary influence of the Avicennian text and its intense circulation. The Šifāʾ was a milestone of the philosophical tradition and for centuries it has been commented, glossed, paraphrased and summarised by leading exponents of the learned milieu, occupying a pivotal role in the intellectual genealogy and transmission chain of philosophy in the Islamic East.

Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to offer an overview of the manuscripts that preserve the commentaries on the most important Peripatetic summa of Ibn Sīnā (Avicenna, 980–1037), i.e. Kitāb al-Šifāʾ (Book of the healing/cure), preserved in India and compiled to a large extent during the Safavid reign (16th–18th). The amount of testimonia exemplifies the extraordinary influence of the Avicennian text and its intense circulation. The Šifāʾ was a milestone of the philosophical tradition and for centuries it has been commented, glossed, paraphrased and summarised by leading exponents of the learned milieu, occupying a pivotal role in the intellectual genealogy and transmission chain of philosophy in the Islamic East.
