The discovery of the fifteenth-century codex Vlatadon 14 in 2005
was an extraordinary moment for scholars of Graeco Roman antiquity,
as it brought to light a new witness to a large collection of
Galen’s medical and philosophical works. Among them is the moral
essay De indolentia (On Avoiding Distress), a text long deemed
lost, and the De propriis placitis (On My Own Opinions), a
doxographical piece with a complex textual tradition, up to that
point known only through a corrupt medieval Latin translation and
some passages preserved in Greek. This volume provides a new
critical edition of the two Galenic treatises, which represents a
significant improvement on earlier editorial attempts by offering
more accurate readings of the codex, including supplementation of
previously unrestored lacunae, and many emendations to thorny
passages owed to physical damage in the manuscript as well as
perhaps careless scribes and/or the poor quality of their model.
The more authoritative version of the two texts is accompanied by
fresh English translations and brief introductions, making both
works widely accessible not just to Classicists but also to
scholars and students of ancient medicine, ancient philosophy and
Roman Imperial literary culture.
Timeless wisdom about how to be healthy in body and mind from one
of the greatest physicians of the ancient world The second-century
Greek physician Galen—the most famous doctor in antiquity after
Hippocrates—is a central figure in Western medicine. A talented
doctor, surgeon, writer, philosopher, teacher, pharmacologist, and
inventor, Galen attended the court of Marcus Aurelius, living
through outbreaks of plague (likely smallpox) that devastated the
Roman Empire. He also served as physician for professional
gladiators, boasting that only two fighters died during his first
year (his predecessor had lost sixteen). In writings that provided
the foundation of Western medicine up to the nineteenth century,
Galen created a unified account of health and disease. In How to Be
Healthy, practicing physician and classical historian Katherine Van
Schaik presents a collection of Galen’s enduring insights about
how we can take care of our bodies and minds, prevent disease, and
reach a healthy old age. Although we now know that many of
Galen’s ideas about physiology are wrong, How to Be Healthy shows
that much of his advice remains sound. In these selections from his
writings, presented in fresh translations, Galen discusses the art
of medicine, exercise and diet, the mind-body connection, the
difficulty of applying general medical principles to individuals,
and much more. Featuring an introduction, brief commentaries that
connect ancient medical practices to modern ones, and the original
Greek on facing pages, How to Be Healthy offers an entertaining and
enlightening new perspective on the age-old pursuit of wellness,
from the importance of “the exercise with a small ball” to the
benefits of “avoiding distress.”
