What if everything you thought you knew about the origins of medicine only told half the story?
In this episode of Echo & Ink, we’re joined by Professor Peter Pormann — a leading expert on Graeco-Arabic medicine — to uncover the real roots of medical knowledge. We explore how ideas from ancient Greece, Syriac Christianity, Persian scholars, and the medieval Middle East came together to shape the way medicine was practised, taught, and preserved for centuries.
We cover:
• Hippocrates, Galen, Rufus of Ephesus
• Avicenna (Ibn Sina), al-Razi, and other non-Western thinkers
• Syriac and Arabic translations of Greek texts
• Ancient diagnosis, placebo effect, and ethics
• Palimpsests, lost manuscripts, and digital recovery
• Religion, philosophy, and healing across cultures
Professor Pormann has authored over 190 works and is one of the most influential voices in the history of medicine, translation, and cross-cultural intellectual exchange.
