Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This early collection of medical texts, written by the famous Galen, was one of the very first printed medical books ever published. These impressive volumes, written over 1500 years before the advent of modern medicine, are a significant collection of the medical knowledge that shaped Western medical practice from their composition in antiquity until well into the 19th century. The author, Galen, was a Greek physician, surgeon and philosopher in the Roman Empire. Galen's prolific writings cover all aspects of medicine - anatomy, physiology, pathology, pharmacology, and even neurology and psychology - and his work remained unchallenged as the definitive work on the human body for over thirteen hundred years after his death. For more than a millennium, his published works were not only studied and taught in their own right but were also extensively quoted and paraphrased by other medical and scientific authors. As a result, his writings and theories were absolutely fundamental to the development of modern medical science. Galen's authority was so widely accepted that it was not until the Renaissance, with the advent of new methods of investigation such as dissection of the human body, that his work began to be questioned and revised. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781334346699_0
