Galen (129-199 CE) crystallized all the best work of the Greek medical schools which had preceded his own time, including Hippocrates' foundational work six hundred years earlier. It is in the form of Galenism that Greek medicine was transmitted to later ages.

One of the foremost scholars of his day, the German classicist August Böckh (1785-1867) was chosen by the Berlin Academy of Sciences as the first editor of the monumental Corpus inscriptionum graecarum. Before that he had published this groundbreaking edition of the extant works of the Greek poet Pindar (c.522-c.443 BCE) in two volumes, the second being split into two parts. This first volume, published in 1811, contains the only complete surviving works of Pindar, the victory odes (Epinikia), written to celebrate athletic successes at the Olympic and other games. In addition to the editor's Latin preface and critical notes, this volume also contains his important treatise on Pindarian metrics, De metris Pindari, in which he establishes a close connection between Greek music and verse, elucidating the Greeks' own statements about rhythm and providing a systematic basis for the study of Greek verse.

The present volume offers the first critical edition of Book I of the medieval Arabic translation of Galen's Commentary on 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 translation of this text became a crucial source for the development of medicine in the Islamic world, especially in the nascent field of clinical medicine; the number and extent of "ations in later Arabic medical works and the wide range of didactic writings created on the basis of this translation attest to its importance.The English translation, which aims to convey some of the favour of the Arabic translation, comes with extensive notes on the differences between the Greek original and the Arabic translation. A thorough comparison between the two versions of the commentary provided important insights into the translation style and terminology of Hunayn ibn Ishaq and his associates.

Vandaag leeft bijna 15% van de wereldbevolking met een geestelijke of lichamelijke handicap. De samenleving probeert zo goed mogelijk in te spelen op de noden van wie een beperking heeft. Maar hoe was de situatie in het Romeinse Rijk? Hoe werden gehandicapten daar behandeld? Hoe functioneerden ze in het dagelijkse leven? Welke antwoorden boden medici, filosofen en theologen op hun problemen? 

**Beperkt?** is de allereerste studie over gehandicapten in de Romeinse oudheid. Het boek schetst de medische en materiële achtergronden van de antieke wereld en bespreekt de overlevingskansen van wie met een beperking geboren werd. Christian Laes zoomt in op verschillende soorten handicaps: van mentale problemen, blindheid, doofheid, spraakgebreken tot mobiliteitshandicaps. Hij vult aan met de levensverhalen van wie met een beperking door het leven ging. Zo komen onder meer de legendarische 'waanzinnige' keizer Caligula, de 'stotterende' keizer Claudius en de blinde bard Homerus aan bod.
