by Donald Campbell

Overview

This is Volume II of six in the Arabic History and Culture collection. Originally published in 1926, this text is volume one of Arabian Medicine and its Influence on the Middle Ages and attempts to place before the reader the origin and development of Arabian Medicine and its subsequent cultivation among the Arabistae of the Latin west. The latter half of this volume is on Mediaeval Medicine, which is but a modification of Arabian Medicine as understood by the scholastics who based their systems on what are shown to be indifferent Latin versions of the Arabic writings of Islam, which in turn were versions of ~he Syriac translations of the Greek texts.
