The Yaghnobi community preserved, until the early decades of the 1900's, archaic traditions and customs. Many of these traditions were linked, for centuries, to medicine, birth and delivery. A report on Yaghnobi's traditional medicine was prepared by E. M. Peščereva during the expeditions to the Yaghnob Valley of 1924-27. Peščereva's report represents an important point of comparison and a reading-guide to the interpretation of the current situation in order to find elements of continuity and compare impressions and observations.

Abstract
The Yaghnobi community preserved, until the early decades of the 1900's, archaic traditions and customs. Many of these traditions were linked, for centuries, to medicine, birth and delivery. A report on Yaghnobi's traditional medicine was prepared by E. M. Peščereva during the expeditions to the Yaghnob Valley of 1924-27. Peščereva's report represents an important point of comparison and a reading-guide to the interpretation of the current situation in order to find elements of continuity and compare impressions and observations.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
