An excellent concise overview of medicine in the Middle East from about 600 to 1600 (with a slight look at later periods). A great resource which I plan to keep handy to look up names and titles of books in the future. It is fairly academic, but very accessible for people who do not know much about the history of the Middle East or the Middle Ages, with some useful lists of further readings on many topics and a thorough bibliography. Highly recommended introduction to the subject. ( ) keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

The medical tradition that developed in the lands of Islam during the medieval period (c. 650-1500) has, like few others, influenced the fates and fortunes of countless human beings. It is a story of contact and cultural exchange across countries and creeds, affecting many people from kings to the common crowd. This tradition formed the roots from which modern Western medicine arose. Contrary to the stereotypical picture, medieval Islamic medicine was not simply a conduit for Greek ideas, but a venue for innovation and change. Medieval Islamic Medicine is organized around five topics: the emergence of medieval Islamic medicine and its intense crosspollination with other cultures; the theoretical medical framework; the function of physicians within the larger society; medical care as seen through preserved case histories; and the role of magic and devout religious invocations in scholarly as well as everyday medicine. A concluding chapter on the "afterlife" concerns the impact of this tradition on modern European medical practices, and its continued practice today. The book includes an index of persons and their books; a timeline of developments in East and West; and a section on further reading. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
