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.
