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$aStudies in ancient medicine ;$vVolume 51. 606 $aMedicine, Greek and Roman 606 $aMedicine, Ancient$xHistory 615 0$aMedicine, Greek and Roman. 615 0$aMedicine, Ancient$xHistory. 676 $a610.938 700 $aStewart$b Keith Andrew$01706670 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910807012603321 996 $aGalen's theory of black bile$94094277 997 $aUNINA
