Iatrosophia are usually regarded as vernacular compilations of medical texts lacking structure or intellectual value and being of a purely practical scope. In addition, because they are often transmitted in only one manuscript, iatrosophia are viewed as ‘dead ends’ of the transmission. Even though these views capture some characteristics of the majority of known iatrosophia, they hardly suffice in defining a genre. For instance, a number of texts fit the description but are not called iatrosophia. Moreover, there are texts called iatrosophia that do not fit this description. Because of these very basic problems in understanding the genre, it is necessary to take a look at the evidence to determine what iatrosophia actually are before examining the reception of Galen in such works.1 With such a large and amorphous group, it is difficult to select representative examples. In the end, two texts were chosen because they present different ends of the spectrum: (a) an organised text of relatively high quality, and (b) a disorganised text of lower quality. Both of these texts have been labelled an iatrosophion by the scribes who copied the volumes, so that we can be sure that we are indeed working with the correct material. Moreover, these primary sources have been digitised, so anyone interested can conduct further research and form their own opinions.

Yoeli-Tlalim","doi":"10.1163/9789004394353_032","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1163/9789004394353_032","url":null,"abstract":"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?","PeriodicalId":284959,"journal":{"name":"Brill's Companion to the Reception of Galen","volume":"58 9-10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130584421","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
