Philology in particular allows the authors to address the changing meaning of the same term, which often reflected well-known metaphors in the source language that were transposed to the target language. Each essay touches on the reliability of received medical texts and their modern fate.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"The Treatise on Cold Damage is precisely the sort of text for which a deeper understanding of the use of philological approaches in the study and practice of medicine promises the greatest increase in our understanding of East Asian medicine’s history. While the essays collected in this volume are all important and exciting in their own right, the new avenues of research that they highlight are equally exciting. I hope that this book will inspire more work in this highly productive field.\" - Stephen Boyanton, Chengdu, Sichuan, China, in: Journal of the American Oriental Society 138.1 (2018)","brand":"Brill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53210661355863,"sku":"9789004285446","price":126.4,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/antiquarianism-language-and-medical-philology-from-early-modern-to-modern-sino-japanese-medical-discourses-9789004285446","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
