Arabic medicine - Arabic medicine

Japanese: アラビア医学 - アラビアいがく
Arabic medicine - Arabic medicine
This medicine was practiced in the 7th century when Islam emerged and a vast Islamic cultural sphere was formed. Its origins lie in ancient Greek and Roman medicine, to which medical knowledge from India and China was added, and new methods such as alchemy were also developed independently, forming Arabic medicine with a wealth of medicinal knowledge. The rise of the Salerno Medical School at the end of the 11th century paved the way for the fusion of Arabic medicine with Western Christian medicine, and ancient Greek medical texts that had been translated into Arabic were retranslated into Latin there, which had a great influence on the subsequent development of medicine in Europe. Today, Arabic medicine is recognized for its originality, but is more highly regarded for having passed on ancient Greek medicine to future generations as a cultural heritage.

Japanese:
7世紀にイスラム教が興って広大なイスラム文化圏を形成した時代にそこで行われた医学。その源は古代ギリシアおよびローマ医学で,これにインドおよび中国の医学知識が加わり,錬金術など新しい方法も独自に開発されて,薬物知識の豊富なアラビア医学が形成された。 11世紀末にサレルノ医学校が興隆したことは,アラビア医学と西欧キリスト教医学との結合の道を開き,アラビア語に訳されていた古代ギリシア医学の文献がここで再びラテン語に訳され,その後のヨーロッパの医学の発達に多大な影響を与えるにいたった。今日アラビア医学は,その独創性は認められているものの,古代ギリシア医学を文化遺産として後世に伝えたことのほうで,より評価されている。
