Description

This scholarly work examines the historical and cultural dimensions of scientific, medical and technical exchanges between central Europe and Asia across centuries. The book investigates pivotal technologies including printing, gunpowder, guncasting, shipbuilding, metallurgy and drilling methods, whilst also exploring mapping techniques, written calculation systems and mechanical clock adoption. Papers analyse medical practices such as pulse taking and electrotherapy, demonstrating how human mobility facilitated knowledge transfer and how translation of European texts into local languages enabled widespread adoption and adaptation of ideas. Part of the Boston Studies in the Philosophy and History of Science series, volume 275, this work provides rigorous historical analysis of how scientific knowledge crossed continents, merged with local traditions and shaped technological development across diverse regions.
