Description

This comprehensive sourcebook brings together primary sources spanning 1100 years of medical practice and health beliefs across the ancient Mediterranean world, from 500 BCE to 600 CE. Published by University of California Press, the collection offers scholars, students, and history enthusiasts direct access to authentic texts, inscriptions, and accounts that reveal how ancient physicians, philosophers, and healers understood disease, treatment, and the human body. The sources illuminate the sophisticated medical theories of Hippocratic physicians, the practical remedies of Galen, religious healing practices at temples and shrines, and the everyday health concerns of ordinary people. By presenting voices from Greek, Roman, Egyptian, and Near Eastern traditions alongside one another, the sourcebook demonstrates the rich exchange of medical knowledge across cultures during this transformative period. It serves as an invaluable resource for understanding the foundations of Western medicine and the complex relationship between medicine, religion, and society in antiquity.
