TL;DRAbstract
During the Middle Ages, Jews participated in the medical systems of the Muslim and Christian milieus in which they lived. As a result, the theoretical basis and actual practice of Jewish medicine were largely shaped by the medical traditions of their host societies. This process began around the eighth century, when Jews participated from the very beginning in the translation, transmission, and appropriation of Greek science and philosophy by the Arabs. Arabic language and culture provided the Jews from Persia to the Iberian Peninsula with a common cultural and sociopolitical background that contributed to their cohesion.
