Moses Maimonides (1135-1204) wrote many philosophical, legal, and
medical works. Of these, Medical Aphorisms is among his best known.
Consisting of approximately fifteen hundred maxims from the ancient
Greek physician Galen, it is arranged as twenty-five treatises
organized according to traditional medieval subspecialties such as
gyoecology, hygiene, and diet. Because the source texts no longer
survive, Maimonides' version provides vital clues about Galen's
thought that would otherwise remain unknown. This critical edition
includes both the definitive Arabic text and a masterly English
translation.
