New analysis is offered, both of the dominant texts of Galen and of such important but neglected figures as Rufus, Archigenes, Athenaeus of Attalia, Aretaeus, Caelius Aurelianus and the Byzantine 'compilers'. The work of these authors is considered both in its medical-historical context and in relation to philosophical and theological debates - on ethics and on the nature of the soul - with which they interacted. 410 0$aStudies in ancient medicine ;$vVolume 50. 608 $aElectronic books. 676 $a616.8900938 702 $aThumiger$b Chiara 702 $aSinger$b P.
