Galen's Method of Healing
Proceedings of the 1982 International Galen Symposium
Series: - Studies in Ancient Medicine, Volume: 1
This book includes papers presented in Kiel in 1982 on Galen's chief therapeutic manual, the Methodus medendi. The papers describe the composition of the book, its surgical content, its emphasis on logic, and its fortuna in medieval Islam and Renaissance Europe. No such study in depth of a major Galenic work has hitherto been attempted.
'This carefully edited volume represents an important step in the research of Galen's scientific and literary activity, and will prove an indispensable reference book to every researcher in the fields of ancient, Arab-Islamic, medieval European and Renaissance medicine.â
