“…Nie przeszkadzała im buddyjska tradycja tych doświadczeń ani ferwor ówczesnego prozelityzmu islamskiego 5 . Na dodatek perscy lekarze zatrudniani byli na tybetańskim dworze królewskim w VII i VIII w. 6 Stepy azjatyckie torowały drogę ideom w dziedzinach, zdawałoby się, tak hermetycznych jak medycyna tybetańska, która korzystała z indyjskich, greckich i arabsko-perskich studiów nad zdrowiem na podstawie tłumaczeń tekstów źródłowych. Te ostatnie powstawały zresztą w regionie.…”

Tylko porównując się z Azją, istnieje Europa… Koczujemy na spotkanie siebie, rozpoznając się w sobie. (Olżas Sulejmenow, Andrzejowi Wozniesienskiemu, tłumaczenie własne Sławoj Szynkiewicz) Wstęp Granica między Europą i Azją istnieje wyłącznie w sensie kulturowym i brakuje jej wyraźnego wyznacznika topografi cznego. Nawet kulturowe rozgraniczenie jest wątpliwe, gdyż wydarzenia dziejące się w Azji Środkowej miały reperkusje na obszarze Bizancjum, cywilizacji rzymskiej, zachodniej Europy czy księstw ruskich. Typowy dla regionu Jedwabny Szlak przekraczał istotne granice fi zyczne, polityczne i kulturowe, musiał więc w konsekwencji przyjmować odpowiednie dla nich strategie działania. Region ten wyróżnia się równoleżnikowym pasem szerokiego stepu, od Mandżurii po pusztę węgierską, dlatego społeczności wyposażone w konie nie miały przeszkód natury komunikacyjnej, by szybko znaleźć się w dowolnym punkcie owego pasa. Dzięki temu łatwo rozchodziły się informacje, przemieszczały oddziały zbrojne, towary oraz idee. Stepowy teren sprawiał, że jego racjonalne wykorzystanie gospodarcze sprowadzało się przede wszystkim do koczowniczego pasterstwa, ale się do niego nie ograniczało, gdyż enklawy znacznego nawodnienia oraz wykorzystanie technik irygacyjnych umożliwiły powstanie swoistych oaz oferujących warunki dla

“…Perhaps Linnaeus and Tenzin Phuntsok were influenced by an earlier work or a more general focus on morphology that was somewhat "global" (at least pan-Eurasian) in scope. Work by Katharina Sabernig, Ronit Yoeli-Tlalim, and others have shown the connections between Tibetan and western (Greek and Persian) medicines in the areas of anatomy, use of musk, urine analysis, and the development of some aspects of medical theory, such as the concept of "humors" (Akasoy et al 2016;Garrett 2007;Sabernig 2016;Yoeli-Tlalim 2010, 2012 Four Tantras may be defined by slightly different criteria for each category (preparation, habitat, root quality), as those aspects relate to the nature/essence of a substance, the Crystal Mirror superimposes the over-riding criterion of type of material substance on all constituents, regardless of preparation, root quality, habitat, and efficacy. This superimposition creates categories that are calibrated and "equalized" to be based on the overriding principle of material substance; such a principle does not appear to exist in the Four Tantras.…”

principles that Berlin and others set forth and to continue to discuss the significance of studying natural-kind classification systems. An important vein of inquiry in ethnobiological studies of classification has included attention to change within classificatory systems, history, and context. Brent Berlin (1992) and Cecil Brown (1984), in particular, consider developmental stages of inclusive hierarchy, most convincingly related to modes of economy and social structure, where particular categories and naming patterns are identified cross-culturally through an evolutionary paradigm. Roy Ellen and David Reason (1979) point to the significance of social context in understanding systems of natural-kind classification, arguing that classification systems are not abstracted from real-world situations but embedded in socio-cultural processes. Other historical works, such as the ornithological study by Tim Birkhead (2008), trace the connections between categories of natural kinds, as identified by

Galen in Asia?

This is an open access chapter distributed under the terms of the prevailing CC-BY License. chapter 30 Galen in Asia?Ronit Yoeli-Tlalim Although one can generally say that the place of Galen in the history of Asian medical systems is rather minor, such a statement nonetheless requires some qualification.1 Galen appears in the rich Tibetan literary genre of medical histories as one of the figures who brought medical knowledge to Tibet. More significantly, in India, Galen was a key figure in Unani (literally 'Greek medicine'), which continues to thrive on the subcontinent. With regards to China, there are a number of anecdotal mentions of Galen in works either referring to China or composed in China. In most of the cases discussed here, Galen comes to Asia through mediating languages, primarily Persian and Syriac, and medical traditions -Islamic medicine in the case of India and Renaissance medicine in the case of the Jesuits in China.2 Hence, the story of Galen in Asia is to a large degree an extension of these medical and literary traditions.Two related but separate issues need addressing when trying to assess the place of Galen in Asia. The first issue is an assessment of mentions of Galen in Asian texts and contexts. Narratives on the origins and history of medicine, and knowledge more generally, are important within this regard. Analysis of how and why these narratives were constructed can reveal important political, religious, economic, and cultural factors at play. The second issue is the presence, or lack thereof, of Galenic medical knowledge within Asian traditions. These two issues in turn raise a third one involving the relationship between them: If a tradition declares itself to be influenced by Galenic medicine, does it necessarily mean that it is so? Narratives on the origins of medical knowledge raise the large and complicated question of whether and to what extent such accounts actually reflect the nature of the knowledge they describe. In other words, they raise questions like: When and why does a culture, religion, or state ideology choose to present or construct itself as linked to a particular culture? Are there correspondences between declaring a tradition as linked to a particular tradition and the tradition indeed being linked?
