Galen was probably the greatest medical writer of antiquity and
certainly the most prolific. His Anatomical Procedures (c. 200 CE)
embodies the results of a lifetime of practical research; it is
largely based on verbatim notes of lectures delivered during actual
demonstrations of dissection. The work comprises fifteen books, of
which only the first eight-and-a-half have survived in the original
Greek. An Arabic translation of the complete work has survived,
however, and this has made possible the translation of the final
six-and-a-half books (parts of book 9 and books 10-15). Duckworth's
translation was originally made from a German translation of 1906,
but for this 1962 edition it was revised by Lyons, working directly
from the Arabic text, with the co-operation of Towers. Modern names
for the parts of the body are inserted in brackets, and an
anatomical index is supplied.
