Galen's treatises on the classification and causation of diseases
and symptoms are an important component of his prodigious oeuvre,
forming a bridge between his theoretical works and his practical,
clinical writings. As such, they remained an integral component of
the medical teaching curriculum well into the second millennium.
This edition was originally published in 2006. In these four
treatises (only one of which had been previously translated into
English), Galen not only provides a framework for the exhaustive
classification of diseases and their symptoms as a prelude to his
analysis of their causation, but he also attempts to establish
precise definitions of all the key terms involved. Unlike other of
his works, these treatises are notably moderate in tone, taking
into account different views on structure and causation in a
relatively even-handed way. Nonetheless, they are a clear statement
of the Dogmatic position on the theoretical foundations of medicine
in his time.
