DESCRIPTION:The Tibetan medical manuscripts from Dunhuang refer\, either d
 irectly or indirectly\, to knowledge deriving from other medical tradition
 s. Their mentions of foreign locations\, foreign names and the abundance o
 f luxury goods all point to the importance of analysing this material in r
 elation to the context of multi-cultural interactions along the silk roads
  at their\ntime. In order to further our understanding of these references
 \, this paper will analyse their foreign mentions along with some contempo
 rary non-Tibetan medical manuscripts from Dunhuang and Turfan in order to 
 provide a context within which we can begin to paint a picture of medical 
 knowledge in and around Dunhuang in the 9th and 10th centuries.
