N2  - This paper begins with a frame story, the reports on Indian medicine
recorded in the 17th century travelogue of the British traveller John
Fryer. Fryer?s observations as an outsider are contrasted with an
internal view of the works of three quite different Sanskrit medical
authors who were working at about the time of his visit: the
Vaidyajiivana of Lolimbaraja, the Rogaarogavada of V?resvara, and the Ayurvedasaukhya ascribed to Todaramalla. Questions are posed
concerning the purposes of these works, their relative popularity, and
their reception. Finally, Fryer?s failure to penetrate the culture of
Sanskritic medicine is highlighted.
