Paperback. Condición: New. Did you know that the Qur'ân contains Greek stories? That medieval Muslims produced a rich literature on sexology that is based in part on Greek sources? Or that the Islamic Republic of Iran is partially modelled on Plato's Republic?Muslim civilisation constantly engaged with the Graeco-Roman heritage in fascinating ways. This book shows how Islam was born in a Hellenised world and examines the profound engagement with classical art, philosophy, theology and science that resulted. The translation of key Greek texts into Arabic during the Abbasid caliphate influenced even the language's grammar and literature: courtiers recited Homer and one Ottoman sultan visited Troy to admire the graves of the heroes of the Iliad. Pormann shows how this legacy endures today, as classical scholarship shapes modern debates about the Qur'ân among both modernists and fundamentalists. We can thus trace a line from Homer to al-Qâ?ida.Anybody interested in understanding the intellectually fruitful relationship between Islamic civilization and the classical inheritance of the Graeco-Roman world will find a treasure trove of insights in this erudite and wide-ranging account.…

Paperback. Condición: New. The medical tradition that developed in the lands of Islam during the medieval period (c. 650-1500) has, like few others, influenced the fates and fortunes of countless human beings. It is a story of contact and cultural exchange across countries and creeds, affecting many people from kings to the common crowd. This tradition formed the roots from which modern Western medicine arose. Contrary to the stereotypical picture, medieval Islamic medicine was not simply a conduit for Greek ideas, but a venue for innovation and change. Medieval Islamic Medicine is organized around five topics: the emergence of medieval Islamic medicine and its intense crosspollination with other cultures; the theoretical medical framework; the function of physicians within the larger society; medical care as seen through preserved case histories; and the role of magic and devout religious invocations in scholarly as well as everyday medicine. A concluding chapter on the "afterlife" concerns the impact of this tradition on modern European medical practices, and its continued practice today.The book includes an index of persons and their books; a timeline of developments in East and West; and a section on further reading.…

Paperback. Condición: New. Hippocrates is a towering figure in Greek medicine. Dubbed the 'father of medicine', he has inspired generations of physicians over millennia in both the East and West. Despite this, little is known about him, and scholars have long debated his relationship to the works attributed to him in the so-called 'Hippocratic Corpus', although it is undisputed that many of the works within it represent milestones in the development of Western medicine. In this Companion, an international team of authors introduces major themes in Hippocratic studies, ranging from textual criticism and the 'Hippocratic question' to problems such as aetiology, physiology and nosology. Emphasis is given to the afterlife of Hippocrates from Late Antiquity to the modern period. Hippocrates had as much relevance in the fifth-century BC Greek world as in the medieval Islamic world, and he remains with us today in both medical and non-medical contexts.…
