Medieval Islamic Medicine
"Without question, this volume can be considered the best and most critical introduction to the field and a guide for future research.... Anyone interested in the history of Islamic science will find this a useful book to own." --American Journal of Islamic Social Sciences"[T]he authors take a fresh approach and offer imaginative conclusions." --ISIS"An outstanding contribution to a very important field. While there has been a great deal of new research on premodern medical texts from the Islamic world, there are few surveys written for a broader public. This text will make a lasting contribution to the history of science in general, and to the study of premodern Islamic medicine in particular." --Jonathan Brockopp, Director, Program in Religious Studies, Pennsylvania State University
