A Turkic Medical Treatise from Islamic Central Asia

This is the first serious study on seventeenth-century Central Asian medicine that provides a major resource for the linguistic and cultural history of Central Asia. The richly annotated English translation from the Chagatay original makes the edition useful for readers without special knowledge on medical history and Turkic studies. The edition includes an introduction, a transcription, an annotated English translation, seven lexica and two manuscripts in facsimile.
