This volume makes available for the first time in English
translation a selection of Jacques Jouanna's papers on medicine in
the Graeco-Roman world. The papers cover more than thirty years of
Jouanna s scholarship and range from the early beginnings of Greek
medicine to late antiquity. Part One studies the ways in which
Greek medicine is related to its historical and cultural background
(politics, rhetoric, drama, religion). Part Two studies a number of
salient features of Hippocratic medicine, such as dietetics,
theories of health and disease and concepts of psychosomatic
interaction, in relation to Greek philosophical thought. Part Three
studies the reception of Hippocratic medicine, especially medical
ethics and the theory of the four humours, in Galen and in late
antiquity.
