scholarly journals Galen: A Thinking Doctor in Imperial Rome by Vivian Nutton

Author(s):  
Aileen R. Das

The popularity that ancient medicine and Galenic studies in particular now enjoy in anglophone scholarship is owing in no small part to the author of the monograph under review. Through his textual critical and analytic work over the past 50 years, Nutton has made the life, writings, and thought of the secondcentury ad Greek doctor Galen of Pergamum (d. ca 216) more accessible to generations of students and scholars. As Nutton admits in the introduction, the present book has the apologetic aim of defending his careerlong interest in Galen against critics who might view Galen’s obsolete medical theories and practices as evidence of a lack of intellectual worth.

With 31 chapters and over nearly 700 densely written pages, this bulky volume manages the difficult task of giving a comprehensive account of the afterlife of the Greek physician Galen (129–216 ad). Over the past few decades, his work has aroused much interest to the point that such a book has become increasingly desirable, if not necessary.

With Mosaics of Knowledge, Andrew Riggsby has produced a very ambitious and thoughtprovoking book. Like Daryn Lehoux’s What Did the Romans Know? [2012], Riggsby’s new book reminds us that the Romans did not see science or technology as we do. However, where Lehoux focuses on a philosophical exploration of how the Romans made sense of the natural world, and why they saw such a different world from the one that we do, Riggsby explores how the Romans understood and used several types of information technology. Here I summarize and comment on what I consider to be the key contributions of each chapter. At the end of the review, I will give some general comments on the book as a whole. Reviewed by: Jason C.

This book is an admirable attempt by its author, assisted by eight reputed colleagues, to present an overview of our present knowledge of astrology and astronomy as practiced in ancient Mesopotamia, Greece, Egypt, Rome, India, China, and Japan, and of the possible interactions leading to borrowing and/or transmission of astral science between these cultures from ancient times onwards up to about ad 600.

The publication of the critical edition of this anonymous commentary on Aristotle’s Sophistical Refutations is something to be celebrated for numerous reasons. Needless to say, it is of great value for scholars interested in the reception of this particular item of the corpus Aristotelicum, especially since the editor is responsible for much of our current knowledge within the field.
