Description

A thousand-year-old Ayurvedic manuscript containing the Compendium of Suśruta was presented to the scientific world in 2007. The Nepalese manuscript, which has now been added to UNESCO's World Heritage List, shows the state of classical Indian medicine in the ninth century. It allows us to examine the changes in this medical classic from the ninth to the nineteenth centuries, when printed texts began to dominate the work's circulation. This monograph describes the research project at the center of this manuscript and offers an edition, study and translation of the historically significant chapter on plastic surgery of the nose and ears.
