It is rarely appreciated how much of the history of Eurasian
medicine in the premodern period hinges on cross-cultural
interactions and knowledge transmissions. Using manuscripts found
in key Eurasian nodes of the medieval world – Dunhuang, Kucha,
the Cairo Genizah and Tabriz – the book analyses a number of
case-studies of Eurasian medical encounters, giving a voice to
places, languages, people and narratives which were once prominent
but have gone silent. This is an important book for those
interested in the history of medicine and the transmissions of
knowledge that have taken place over the course of global history.
