Rezensionen
Review of the hardback: '... it reveals much that should be of interest to the modern physician. ... the introduction offers by far the best and most up-to-date overview available, for specialists and nonspecialists alike, of the relation between ancient medicine and philosophy. And several of the essays provide highly accessible accounts of general issues that will be essential reading for anyone interested in the history of medicine and science in the ancient world.' The Lancet
