Hardcover. Condición: New. This study, several years in the making, in some respects quite aptly resembles the growth of a child from an embryo. The germ, a presentation of twenty minutes' duration at an international conference held at Hamburg in 1985, grew by constant accretion and revision until it was deemed worthy of being submitted as a Habilitationsschrift (post-doctoral thesis) to the University of Hamburg in 1992. But even after its acceptance in 1993 the process of addition and revision continued uninterruptedly until at last I decided that if I did not set myself a fixed cut-off date after which I would stop feeding it with new information, this baby of mine would keep on growing only in my computer and never make it to the printing press and the light of day. In accordance with this decision, new material chanced upon after the end of 1996 has rarely been included, though prior to publication indexes have been added to the whole, this taking several years due to other pressing duties.

This study attempts to determine how the ancient Indian medical and sexological texts would answer a non-medical question, but also social and religious relevance, namely: What happens in a woman's body at the time of conception? To this end, numerous relevant texts were exhaustively analysed, along with several secondary sources and relevant data from other traditional medicinal systems. The highly complicated material with data often widely scattered or embedded in problematic contexts, required complex analysis. This also entailed delving deeply into Indian medical and sexological theories in general, and tackling basic principles and concepts, hitherto, not satisfactorily described. In the process. layers of obfuscation deriving from preconceived notions and apologetics and often first to be removed. This study will thus also benefit those looking at aspects of Indian medicine and sexology. The main body of the work has been augmented with several excursuses on special problems of Indian medicine and sexology, with an appendix in juxtaposition with Greek and Yun?ni medicine and select technical terms. Further, exhaustive indices of the text facilitate usage. Nº de ref. del artículo: 3952
