Description

The Oxford Handbook of Science and Medicine in the Classical World provides an authoritative in-depth synthesis of scientific and medical knowledge across ancient Greece, Rome, Egypt, Mesopotamia, India and China from 650 BCE to 650 CE. Organised into five focused sections, this comprehensive reference work examines the development of ancient science and medicine across distinct historical periods. The second section traces the early Greek era through Plato and the mid-fourth century BCE, whilst the third section covers the extensive Hellenistic period from Aristotle through the Roman Republic.
