This volume deals with philosophically grounded theories of animal
generation as found in two different traditions: one, deriving
primarily from Aristotelian natural philosophy and specifically
from his Generation of Animals; and another, deriving from two
related medical traditions, the Hippocratic and the Galenic. The
book contains a classification and critique of works that touch on
the history of embryology and animal generation written before
1980. It also contains translations of key sections of the works on
which it is focused. It looks at two different scholarly
communities: the physicians (medici) and philosophers (philosophi),
that share a set of textual resources and philosophical lineages,
as well as a shared problem (explaining animal generation), but
that nevertheless have different concerns and commitments. The book
demonstrates how those working in these two traditions not only
shared a common philosophical background in the arts curricula of
the universities, but were in constant intercourse with each other.
This book presents a test case of how scholarly communities
differentiate themselves from each other through methods of
argument, empirical investigation, and textual interpretations. It
is all the more interesting because the two communities under
investigation have so much in common and yet, in the end, are
distinct in a number of important ways.
