Publisher Description:
Cet ouvrage traite des interactions entre l'Ayurveda et la culture m dicale persane en Asie du sud. Il pr sente, pour la premi re fois, une tude du mouvement de traduction en persan des sources ayurv diques qui a eu lieu partir du XIVe si cle. L'image de la culture ayurv dique qui merge partir des trait s persans offre un nouvel clairage sur l'histoire de l'Ayurveda l' poque de l'h g monie politique musulmane. Les trait s persans appliquent de nouvelles cat gories l'analyse des mat riaux traduits et ils transforment les modalit s de pr sentation du savoir ayurv dique. En parall le, l'ouvrage de Fabrizio Speziale aborde le ph nom ne sym trique de persanisation de l'univers intellectuel des m decins hindous qui, travers l'apprentissage du persan, s'approprient des connaissances m dicales de la culture musulmane.

This book looks at the interactions between Ayurveda and Persian medical culture in South Asia. It presents, for the first time, a study of the translation movement of Ayurvedic sources into Persian, which took place from the 14th century onwards. The image of Ayurvedic culture emerging from Persian texts provides a new insight into the history of Ayurveda under Muslim political hegemony in South Asia. Persian treatises apply new categories to the analysis of translated materials and transform the way Ayurvedic knowledge is presented. At the same time, Fabrizio Speziale's book deals with the symmetric phenomenon of Persanization of the Hindu physicians who, through the learning of Persian language, appropriated medical knowledge of Muslim culture.
