Abstract

Die Schrift "Über die alte Heilkunst" wird allgemein als ideen- bzw. medizingeschichtliches Dokument ersten Ranges geschätzt. Einer angemessenen Interpretation des Werkes als Ganzes erwies sich allerdings dieser Ruhm bisher eher als hinderlich. Der Schwerpunkt der vorliegenden Arbeit liegt in der Untersuchung der wissenschaftlichen Polemik des Verfassers. Dieser Ansatz wirft nicht nur neues Licht auf manche Frage, die trotz vieler Bemühungen noch auf eine überzeugende Antwort wartet, sondern ermöglicht erst, indem der raffinierten Strategie des Autors nachgespürt wird, die Schrift als ein Juwel der frühgriechischen Prosa zu würdigen.

Abstract

In Medicine in Ancient Assur Troels Pank Arbøll offers a microhistorical study of a single exorcist named Kiṣir-Aššur who practiced medical and magical healing in the ancient city of Assur (modern northern Iraq) in the 7th century BCE. The book provides the first detailed analysis of a healer's education and practice in ancient Mesopotamia based on at least 73 texts assigned to specific stages of his career. By drawing on a microhistorical framework, the study aims at significantly improving our understanding of the functional aspects of texts in their specialist environment. Furthermore, the work situates Kiṣir-Aššur as one of the earliest healers in world history for whom we have such details pertaining to his career originating from his own time.

Abstract

Dieses Buch enthält die erste kritische Ausgabe der hippokratischen Schrift De humoribus (Über die Säfte), die auf allen bekannten Überlieferungsträgern beruht: So wurde neben verschiedenen griechischen Textzeugen auch eine arabische Übersetzung herangezogen, deren Verwendung aufgrund der problematischen Überlieferungssituation eine Edition eigentlich erst möglich machte. Eine deutsche Übersetzung des griechischen Textes sowie ausführliche Anmerkungen dienen außerdem dazu, das Verständnis dieses nicht immer ganz leicht zugänglichen Textes zu erleichtern.Die Schrift De humoribus hat die Forscher von der Antike bis in die Moderne vor große Probleme gestellt. Insbesondere die Tatsache, dass sie oftmals nur eine Aneinanderreihung von medizinischen Begriffen und Sätzen zu sein scheint, hat die Frage aufgeworfen, wer sie zu welchem Zweck verfasst hat. Eine genauere Untersuchung hat nun ergeben, dass sie das Ergebnis der Arbeit eines Arztes ist, der um 400 v. Chr. aus unterschiedlichen Quellen einzelne Notizen zusammengestellt hat, die ihm als Vorarbeit zu einer größeren Abhandlung dienten. The Hippocratic treatise De humoribus (On the Humors) has provided scholars from antiquity to the modern era with major interpretive problems. In particular, its general appearance as a series of medical terms and phrases has raised questions about its authorship and purpose. More detailed study has now shown it to be the work of a doctor from circa 400 BC, who created it from different sources and individual notes, which were preliminary work toward a larger treatise. This book presents the first critical edition of De humoribus based upon all known textual witnesses in both Greek and Arabic. It provides a German translation of the Greek Text with detailed notes to facilitate the interpretation of this often difficult text. The Introduction surveys information about the textual tradition and interpretive history of this work and discusses its structure, purpose, author, and date.

Abstract

The present volume offers the first critical edition of the medieval Arabic translation of Galen's Commentary on Book 2 of the Hippocratic Epidemics produced by Hunayn ibn Ishaq (d. ca. 870). The edition is based on all extant Arabic textual witnesses, including the Arabic secondary transmission. The Greek original of this text is lost; the Arabic translation is therefore the only intact witness to this important work. The number and extent of "ations from this commentary in medieval Arabic medical writings, which are documented in the introduction to the volume, demonstrate that it became a crucial source for the development of medicine in the Islamic world. It also gave rise to a wide range of didactic writings which illustrate its importance for medical teaching. The English translation aims to convey some of the flavour of the Arabic text. The volume also contains comprehensive indices that map out the terminology and style of the translation.

Abstract

The ancient Greek medical thinkers were profoundly influenced by Ionian natural philosophy. This philosophy caused them to adopt a radically new attitude towards disease and healing. James Longrigg shows how their rational attitudes ultimately resulted in levels of sophistication largely unsurpassed until the Renaissance. He examines the important relationship between philosophy and medicine in ancient Greece and beyond, and reveals its significance for contemporary western practice and theory.

Abstract

This volume centers on dreams in Greek medicine from the fifth-century B.C.E. Hippocratic Regimen down to the modern era. Medicine is here defined in a wider sense than just formal medical praxis, and includes non-formal medical healing methods such as folk pharmacopeia, religion, 'magical' methods (e.g., amulets, exorcisms, and spells), and home remedies. This volume examines how in Greek culture dreams have played an integral part in formal and non-formal means of healing. The papers are organized into three major diachronic periods: classical Greek through late Roman, the Byzantine era, and

Abstract

There are few disciplines as exciting and forward-looking as medicine. Unfortunately, however, many modern practitioners have rather lost sight of the origins of their discipline. A Cabinet of Ancient Medical Curiosities aspires to make good this lapse by taking readers back to the early days of Western medicine in ancient Greece and Rome. Quoting the actual words of ancient authors, often from texts which have never been translated into English, it gives a glimpse into the beginnings of such fields as surgery, gynecology, pediatrics, preventive medicine, and pharmacology, as well as highlighting ancient views on such familiar topics as medical ethics and the role of the doctor in society.The hundreds of passages quoted from Greek and Roman authors give a vividly direct picture of the ancient medical world, a world in which, for example, a surgeon had to be strong-minded enough to ignore the screams of his patient, diseases were assumed to be sent by the gods, medicine and magic were often indistinguishable, donkeys might be brought into the sick-room to ensure a fresh supply of milk, human anatomy and microbes were equally mysterious, and no qualifications were required before setting up as a doctor.As will be evident from this list, the approach taken in the book is not an entirely serious one. Even so, despite its lighthearted approach, it does aspire, however modestly, to engage the reader in a thought provoking way about many of the issues still current in medicine nowadays.
