The \u003ci\u003eIndian Books\u003c\/i\u003e offer a unique, interpretative summary of the main tenets of Ayurvedic medicine, as understood by Arabic-speaking scholars on the basis of now lost translations from Sanskrit. The present book centres around a critical edition and annotated translation of this crucial text, framed by a detailed introduction and extensive glossaries of terms. Ṭabarī's learned exposé of Ayurveda also throws a more nuanced light on the allegedly uncontested supremacy of Greek humoralism in 9th-century Arabic medicine.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e ʿalī Ibn Sahl Rabban Aṭ-\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9004523294\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789004523296\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/26\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"\u0026#703;al\u0026#299; Ibn Sahl Rabban A\u0026#7789;-","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44080769564927,"sku":"9789004523296","price":139.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fe6340ce-7ed4-4b78-b189-def162bc5031.jpg?v=1685488710","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/al-ibn-sahl-rabban-a-abar-al-ibn-sahl-rabban-a-9789004523296","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
