“This volume is the first of its kind and a welcome addition to the scholarship. […] It provides a platform for a very respected publication, in the form of a Brill volume, to internationally less known scholars who also work on this important field for Islamic and Asian medicines. The volume also facilitates the access of international scholars to articles that otherwise would have been published in different journals (maybe far less accessible).” - Miri Shefer-Mossensohn, in: Iranian Studies 48:4, 641-643 [DOI: 10.1080/00210862.2015.1044729]
