The Classical Doctrine of Indian Medicine: Its Origins and its Greek Parallels c9.6

c9.6

Oxford, 1907, taking up the articles of *JRAS*, 1906, pp. 915 ff., & 1907, p. 1 & ff. This work has been very well received by the critics (cf., notably Barth, *Oeuvres*, pt. p. 296; A. B. Keith, *ZDMG*, 1908, p. 136), although his most excessive inductions have been challenged. The attention to minute detail and the erudition of the critical apparatus conceal, at first sight, the inanity of the basic hypotheses. We have already observed, pp. 8 & 9, that the conjectures of Hoernle on the History of the Ayurveda are unacceptable.
