Greek Medical Literature and its Readers: From Hippocrates to Islam and Byzantium de Petros Bouras-Vallianatos

Greek Medical Literature and its Readers: From Hippocrates to Islam and Byzantium: Publications of the Centre for Hellenic Studies, King's College London

Editat de Petros Bouras-Vallianatos, Sophia Xenophontos
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 iun 2020
This volume focuses on the relationship between Greek medical texts and their audience(s), offering insights into how not only the backgrounds and skills of medical authors but also the contemporary environment affected issues of readership, methodology and mode of exposition. One of the volume’s overarching aims is to add to our understanding of the role of the reader in the contextualisation of Greek medical literature in the light of interesting case-studies from various – often radically different – periods and cultures, including the Classical (such as the Hippocratic corpus) and Roman Imperial period (for instance Galen), and the Islamic and Byzantine world. Promoting, as it does, more in-depth research into the intricacies of Greek medical writings and their diverse revival and transformation from the fifth century BC down to the fourteenth century AD, this volume will be of interest to classicists, medical historians and anyone concerned with the reception of the Greek medical tradition.

Recenzii

‘Through nine chapters focusing on authors spreading from Hippocrates to the medieval readers of Galen, and covering such diverse areas as classical Greece, Byzantium, and the Islamic world, the volume offers an interesting array of concise case studies...The editors’ work must be commended for a coherent collection of chapters, with a clear focus and helpful pointers and bibliographies. It is also produced to a high standard. The collection will be especially useful to medical historians with a focus on ancient Greek medicine and its afterlife’ - Caroline Petit,Bulletin of the History of Medicine, Volume 94, Number 3 (Fall 2020)
‘... this volume enriches the bibliography and adds a significant title to the research into the complexities of Greek medical writings from the fifth century BC down to the fourteenth century AD, their reception and their influence on various intellectual milieus. Anyone interested in Greek medical tradition will gain a great profit from the book.’ - Maria Chrone, Byzantina Symmeikta 30 (2020)
‘The present volume does a good job in showing how, while claiming its status as an individual technê, ancient medicine remains sensitive to its sharedness and openness across a stratified audience whose members have different skills, needs and expectations... the volume deals with a novel – and thorny – subject, and for that it should be praised.’ - George Kazantzidis, The Classical Review 69.2 (2019)
‘[T]he editors have brought together some interesting articles ... These new collections of articles on a single topic have the advantage of making it easier for other scholars to locate relevant studies.’ - Timothy S. Miller, Bryn Mawr Classical Review (2018.07.30)
