A History of Indian Medical Literature v2.c33.573

v2.c33.573

It is not quite clear whether Suśruta was rendered into Persian or Arabic by Manka; the *Fihrist* mentions an Arabic translation and al-Rāzī and others quote from an Arabic translation, but Manka translated Caraka and Śanāq's book on poisons into Persian. The Suśruta translation consisted of ten discourses; a copy was kept in Yahyā's personal collection (R.L. Verma, 1992: 473). See on Yahyā ibn Khālid: C. Elgood (1979): 78–83; R.A. Nicholson (1962): 259–261.
