The book (https://www.bloomsbury.com/uk/reorienting-histories-of-medicine-9781472512574/) is the product of many years of research with rare manuscripts in a variety of languages. It shows how much of premodern Eurasian medicine was predicated on multidirectional interactions and knowledge traffic across cultures. This is an important study for anyone interested in the medical humanities and global history. It has been labelled as an “impressive breakthrough in Silk Road studies” (Prof. Valerie Hansen, Yale University)
Harvard Professor Shigehisa Kuriyama (https://rijs.fas.harvard.edu/shigehisa-kuriyama), is one of the world’s leading and most widely ranging global medical and cultural historians.
Dr. Ronit Yoeli-Tlalim is a Reader at Goldsmiths History Department (https://www.gold.ac.uk/history/staff/yoeli-tlalim-dr-ronit/)
