层累与挪用:拉比医学知识的生产

Accumulation and Appropriation:The Production of Rabbinic Medical Knowledge

本文概述中世纪前犹太人对医学的参与,并介绍这一领域的现状,试图展现古代犹太传统,尤其是古代晚期的拉比汇编如何积累、挪用并生产有关生理学、解剖学、疗法、药方和健康生活方式的知识。虽然这些信息一般散落在大量的文献中,但它们可以形成较为连贯的框架、文献类别和清单,指向详细的医学讨论,并很好地整合在其多层次的认识论语境中。

This article provides an overview of pre-medieval Jewish engagement with medicine,and presents the current state of the research into ancient Jewish medical knowledge in an attempt to show how ancient Jewish traditions,especially the rabbinic compilations of the late antiquity,accumulated,appropriated,and produced knowledge about physiology,anatomy,therapies,remedies,and healthy lifestyles.This information,although generally scattered throughout a large textual corpus,forms often more coherent frameworks,clusters and lists that exhibit elaborated medical discussions,well integrated in their multi-layered epistemic contexts.
