Omschrijving
In this study of the Sanskrit, Syriac and Persian sources in Rhazes’ (d. 925 CE) famous Arabic encyclopedia titled al-Ḥāwī, Oliver Kahl offers for the first time a textual and historical documentation of an hitherto neglected ‘foreign’ cluster of material.

The Sanskrit, Syriac and Persian Sources in the Comprehensive Book of Rhazes adds new, remarkable knowledge and references to the corpus and history of Arabic/Islamic medicine, and it is a worthwhile addition to the personal library of any researcher of the history of medicine in general." - Ayman Yasin Atat, in: Orientalistische Literaturzeitung 113/2 (2018)
