Keith Stewart analyses the most important treatises for Galen?s physical description and characteristion of black bile and challenges certain views on the development of this humour, such as the importance of the content of the Hippocratic On the Nature of Man . This analysis allows us to understand how and why Galen defines and uses black bile in different ways for his arguments that cannot always be reconciled with the content of his sources. 410 0$aStudies in Ancient Medicine$v51. 606 $aMedicine, Greek and Roman 606 $aBody fluids 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aMedicine, Greek and Roman. 615 0$aBody fluids. 676 $a610.938 700 $aStewart$b Keith Andrew$01028965 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910480810703321 996 $aGalen's theory of black bile$92445154 997 $aUNINA
