The book he didn't get until he got a commentary from Al-Farabi (Abu Nasr Farabi in the Persian literature) is Metaphysics by Aristotle. That book is full of Aristotle's Te and Ni, everything is terse and requires the reader's subconscious mind to understand the meaning. What is not said in many Latin/English teachings is that he was tutored by Abu Abdollah Nateli (not sure if it's the correct spelling) in Geography, Math, and Philosophy. He required Abdollah to dig into the meanings and logic of those to teach him and it was only this way that he understood it. He found medicine just as hard as Metaphysics and math in theory and only reading and memorizing process, so he needed to put it into use to understand it exactly and how it works. Read his bio. Not only it helps you to see his life, but it's also a great read. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avicenna
