The topic of ancient medicine is one which remains debated and discussed even today; this little volume provides a wealth of information about both theory, practice, and major figures involved with medicine in the traditions of Greece and Rome up through the Middle Ages. Celsus, Apollonius, Galen, and others are treated of in detail, along with many lesser figures. It also treats on the subject of aqueducts, temples of healing, sanitation, and surgical procedures, which in some cases rivalled the efficacy of those available when this work was penned.

So i like reading sci fi/ mystery, cozies, etc. This sort if reading is not for me, but i found this book interesting as it discusses medicine and the methods used by greeks and romans. Well written and makes me glad to be here in this day and age instead of back then.

3.0 out of 5 stars ancient medicine, philosophy
Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2012
This book is in the public domain, you can get it for free from several websites.

This book was originally published in 1914, the printed edition has 125 pages. The author was a medical doctor.

The book starts with a chapter on early Roman medicine.
The next chapters are on:
Early Greek Medicine, Hippocrates, Plato, Aristotle, School of Alexandria, empiricism, Roman medicine in the Republican time, the Empire, the Christian time, Galen, the later Roman and Byzantine time, influence of Christianity, Gymnasia and Baths, Sanitation, fees, and more.

I recommend this book to anyone who is interested in Greek and Roman history, in Early Middle Ages history, history of Medicine, or Philosophy.

I confess to not reading this book cover-to cover. My daughter was doing a Latin Standard Grade project (Scottish National exams, equivalent to GCSEs, I think) on Ancient vs Modern Medicine (her choice). It was hard to find info in libraries and online, and they wanted book references. There was enough info to provide interest and a reference. She got a good mark. It was very helpful to find a fairly obscure, yet useful book at a reasonable price for this work.
