Editorial Reviews:
A landmark work, this history of medical thought from antiquity through the Middle Ages reconstructs the slow transformations and sudden changes in theory and practice that marked the birth and early development of Western medicine. Mirko Grmek and his contributors have produced a multifaceted history, unparalleled in its scope, of the myriad influences on the development of medical thought, and of the impact of that thought on other branches of knowledge and on human behavior across the centuries. "[These] essays, relating early Western medicine to the surrounding thought and culture, were originally published in Italian. But thanks to translator Antony Shugaar they retain all their clarity and energy." --New Scientist
