Abstract:

The Astāngahrdayasamhitā (AHS), one of the most important works on Old Indian medicine (āyurveda), is unattested in Central Asia. Several fragments of the Berlin Turfan collection, however, can be attributed to an Uighur translation. They are edited, translated, commented on and provided with glossaries. Special attention is paid to the translation technique.
