Focusing on the systematisation and classification of illness in its multiple forms, manifestations and causes, this volume examines case studies ranging from popular concepts of illness through to specialist discourses on it. Using philological, historical and anthropological approaches, the contributions cover perspectives across time from East Asian, Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cultures, spanning ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, Greece and Rome to Tibet and China. They aim to capture the multiplicity of disease concepts and medical traditions within specific societies, and to investigate the historical dynamics of stability and change linked to such concepts. Providing useful material for comparative research, the volume is a key resource for researchers studying the cultural conceptualisation of illness, including anthropologists, historians and classicists, among others.Medicine and the body in antiquity.Systems of Classification in Premodern Medical CulturesSystems of Classification in Premodern Medical Cultures : Sickness, Health, and Local EpistemologiesMedicineHistoryTo 1500MedicineHistory610Steinert UlrikeNjHacINjHaclBOOK9910407708903321Systems of Classification in Premodern Medical Cultures2989522UNINA
