BC) made between arteries and veins and his views on pulsation and pneuma are two significant turning points in the history of ideas and medicine. In this book Orly Lewis presents the fragmentary evidence for this topic and offers a fresh analysis of Praxagoras? views on the soul and the functions of the heart and pneuma. In so doing, she highlights the empirical basis of Praxagoras? views and his engagement with earlier medical debates and with Aristotle?s physiology. The study consists of an edition and translation of the relevant fragments (some absent from the standard 1958 edition) followed by a commentary and a synthetic analysis of Praxagoras? views and their place in the history of medicine and ideas. 410 0$aStudies in ancient medicine ;$vVolume 48. 606 $aMedicine, Greek and Roman 606 $aCardiovascular system$vEarly works to 1800 606 $aArteries$vEarly works to 1800 606 $aVeins$vEarly works to 1800 606 $aPulse$vEarly works to 1800 606 $aSoul$vEarly works to 1800 615 0$aMedicine, Greek and Roman. 615 0$aCardiovascular system 615 0$aArteries 615 0$aVeins 615 0$aPulse 615 0$aSoul 676 $a610.938 700 $aLewis$b Orly$01720148 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910808097203321 996 $aPraxagoras of Cos on arteries, pulse and pneuma$94118553 997 $aUNINA
