Here's a translation I did of Avicenna's Metaphysics (Al-Shifa) book 9, chapter 4. That's the place Avicenna describes the emanation of the universe from God. It's a facing page translation, with the critical Latin text.

Well done man! So this is what you've been working on. Good good. Have you read Goodman's book on Avicenna?
I browsed it very briefly, but I've spent most of my time with Dadivson and Nasr, but also much by Morewedge, Wisnovsky, Marmura, Druart, and Janssens.
I've met Druart; very nice lady. Did you know she did her B.Phil. at Oxford?
I did not know that. Small world.
