Born in 1518 C.E., this influential philosopher's works include the Ben Cao Gang Mu, a classical compendium of materia medica and one of the masterpieces of Chinese medical literature; and the Bin Hu Mai Xue, the classic of pulse diagnosis. The Bin Hu Mai Xue was written by Li Shi Zhen as an extension of a Song Dynasty classic originally edited by his father. It has been an essential medical text in China for nearly 500 years and continues to be a necessary manual for students of Chinese medicine, and an important medical reference.This translation includes annotations and simple explanations, as well as pulse diagrams based on electro-cardiogram readings. These are current standards used throughout China. no reviews | add a review
Ernest Nicholson's contribution to Old Testament study is here honoured by former pupils, colleagues and friends. Throughout his career, in Trinity College, Dublin and in the Universities of Cambridge and Oxford, he has been an effective ambassador for his subject at several levels: as a committed scholar, as an inspiring teacher and as a loyal friend. The topic of Old Testament covenant has been a long-standing focus of many of his publications and it is wholly appropriate that it should serve as a framework for this collection. The essays explore this topic from a variety of perspectives: literary, exegetical, historical, religious and theological, and demonstrate its continuing vitality as a basis for original work in Old Testament study. The contributions include a substantial evaluation of Ernest Nicholson's writings." No library descriptions found. |
