Book, Ancient Medicine, A 1/17[LS]

In this book, Vivian Nutton pays special attention to the lives and work of doctors in communities, the links between medicine and magic, and the different approaches to medicine in Antiquity. This new edition includes more information about Rufus and Galen, as well as accounts from Babylon, Hellenic medicine, and late antiquity. This new edition of Ancient Medicine has incorporated texts recently discovered, which not only challenge current ideas but are also a source of inestimable importance for students of classical philology and the history of medicine.
