ReOrienting Histories of Medicine: Encounters along the Silk Roads de Dr Ronit Yoeli-Tlalim

ReOrienting Histories of Medicine: Encounters along the Silk Roads

Autor Dr Ronit Yoeli-Tlalim
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 27 ian 2021
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.

Recenzii

Ronit Yoeli-Tlalim is, in my opinion, one of the most interesting and significant historians of Asian medicine active today. ... while ReOrienting is both informative and theoretically sophisticated, it is also quite readable.
Ronit Yoeli-Tlalim draws on materials from the Bower Manuscript, the Genizah repository in Cairo, and cave 17 in Dunhuang to explain how medical knowledge moved across cultural contact zones and spread through Eurasia. Through reading sources in an unusual combination of languages, this study constitutes an impressive breakthrough in Silk Road studies.
Compact and readable, and yet richly informative about the interactions between a wonderful diversity of linguistic and scholarly traditions, ReOrienting Histories of Medicine will now be the first book that I recommend to students for orientation about the early history of Eurasian medical exchange.
Yoeli-Tlalim synthesizes an impressive range of complex source material and disciplines from history of science and medicine to Tibetan studies and Jewish studies. She makes a valuable niche contribution while simultaneously making big, broad interventions on the Eurasian question ... Her book represents a fantastic archive through which other historians and an English-language readership can build fruitful frameworks that inject ever greater nuance and scale into histories of the Silk Road.
