Very many thanks to Allen Thrasher and to Rosane Rocher for providing this information on the Poleman and Roche article on caesarian sections! It's very helpful indeed.

Best wishes,

Robert

Hi Allen,

Thanks for this reference.  Note, however, that the lead author's name appears truncated.  He is Horace J. Poleman, of the Library of Congress, author of the benchmark Union List of Printed indic Texts and Translations in American Libraries (1935).

Best,

Rosane

There is an article "Aspects of caesarian section in India" By Horace J. Pole and and Philip Q. Roche in JAOS, Vol. 59, p. 17ff.  I cannot access it from home so can't give a summary.

Dear list members,

I ask on behalf of a friend of mine who works in the history of medicine and has little knowledge of South Asian medical history: can anyone share references to pre-modern (ideally pre-second millennium CE) descriptions of caesarean sections in South Asian literature?

I'd be very grateful for any pointers...

Many thanks in advance!

Robert
