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. 410 0$aMedicine and the body in antiquity. 517 $aSystems of Classification in Premodern Medical Cultures 517 $aSystems of Classification in Premodern Medical Cultures : Sickness, Health, and Local Epistemologies 606 $aMedicine$xHistory$yTo 1500 615 0$aMedicine$xHistory 676 $a610 702 $aSteinert$b Ulrike 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910407708903321 996 $aSystems of Classification in Premodern Medical Cultures$92989522 997 $aUNINA
