Here is the first translation into English of the complete Yin-Hai
Jing-Wei, a classic fifteenth-century text on Chinese
ophthalmology. As one of the few original manuscripts on
traditional Chinese medicine translated into a Western language,
this work offers an unprecedented view of the practice of medicine,
and specifically eye care, in premodern China. Superbly rendered
from the classical Chinese and extensively annotated by Paul U.
Unschuld and Jurgen Kovacs, the text provides detailed descriptions
of the etiology, symptomatology, and therapy of every eye disease
known to fifteenth-century Chinese practitioners. The translators'
introduction also provides the first in-depth analysis of the
development of this specialty within Chinese medicine. As a source
for comparative studies of Chinese and Western medicine and
numerous other issues in the history of medicine and Chinese
thought, the Yin-Hai Jing-Wei has no equal in the Western world.
