Professors Furley and Wilkie have provided a newly edited Greek
text and a complete English translation with commentary of four of
Galen's physiological treatises on respiration and the arteries.
Their text is the first to make use of Arabic translations of An in
arteriis and De usu pulsuum based on a Greek text that is earlier
and better than the surviving tines. These translations have
enabled them to make substantial improvements in the earlier
editions of the treatises. Introducing the text are essays by
Professors Furley and Wilkie on the history of theories of
respiration and bloodflow in classical antiquity, the influence of
Galen's work on Harvey, and Galen's experimentation and argument.
Originally published in 1984. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the
latest print-on-demand technology to again make available
previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of
Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original
texts of these important books while presenting them in durable
paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy
Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage
found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University
Press since its founding in 1905.
