- Resum
- This chapter examines the transmission of Galenic medicine in South Asia, from the late medieval period onward. Moreover, it looks at the forms of adaptation of Galenic concepts and practice in the cultural landscape of South Asia and how the interaction with Hindu scholars and their medical knowledge shaped Galenic studies in this region. The chapter further discusses how, as a result of this interaction with the Indian environment, on the one hand, a number of Muslim Persian-speaking medical writers of the Galenic tradition assimilated into their texts concepts and materials drawn from the Ayurvedic medicine of their Hindu colleagues, and on the other hand, how many generations of Hindu physicians studied medical texts dealing with Galenic medicine through the learning of Persian and Urdu during the Early Modern and colonial periods.
