Abstract
Chinggis Khan created the largest land empire in history, and he and his successors not only united the old land silk routes but produced successor regimes active on water as well as on land. Arabic Medicine was practiced in Turkistan, Iran, the Arabic- and Syriac-speaking Middle East, the Turkish Middle East, Africa, and Spain. Like Chinese medicine, it was humoral, but whereas Chinese medicine received its humoral ideas by diffusion from the West, or through Buddhism, the humoral ideas in Arabic Medicine were inherited directly from the previous cosmopolitan medical system of its region, Greek medicine. The Ayurvedic or Tridosa system is similar to Greek and Arabic humoral medicine, with some significant differences. On the East Asian side is another encyclopedia, this one in Chinese and not Persian, although with Arabic script entries mostly in that language. Medical ideas and systems came from a variety of cultures the Mongols came into contact with as they created their empire.
