Tongue diagnosis in 17th century China : a contemporary European account / Colin B. Lessell.

"This is an edited facsimile & full translation from Latin into English of Part VI of Andreas Cleyer's Specimen medicinae sinicae sive Opuscula medica ad mentem sinensium (1682), being the first detailed communiction of Chinese tongue diagnosis to European physicians. Originally published as an appendix to my Bibliographica Medica de Asia Orientali 1473-1900, currently of limited availability, it has now been carefully re-edited & restructured to meet the requirements of a wider audience of scholars historians, & students & practitioners of TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine)."--Provided by publisher.
