Latin Readings in the History of Medicine
Robert J. Smutny
This unique Latin reader consists of 67 passages drawn from ancient, medieval, and early modern works on medical subjects. The texts are equipped with introductory comments in English with a visible vocabulary and copious notes designed to aid the students and introduce them to the universality of Latin and the rich range of syntax, vocabulary and styles that characterized the Latin used for almost a millennium and a half after the fall of the Roman Empire in the West and which formed the basis of much of the Latin element absorbed into the modern European languages.
Contents:
PART ONE: CAUSES OF DISEASE; Divine Wrath; Attempts at Rational Explanation: The Doctrine of the Four Humors; Other Attempts at Rational Explnations; Advent of the Microscope; PART TWO: CIRCULATION OF THE BLOOD; Greco-Roman Notions: Aristotle and Galen; Vesalius; Fabricius of Acquapendente; Harvey; Malpighi; Leeuwenhoek; INTRODUCTIONS FROM THE NEW WORLD; Quinine; Syphilis; Guaiacum; Tobacco; Coca; PART FOUR: MEDIEVAL AND EARLY MODERN MEDICINE; Arabic Medicine; Medieval European Medicine; John of Gaddesden; Early Modern Medicine; The Problem of Gunpowder Wounds; PART FIVE: THE PHYSICIAN AND HIS RELATIONS WITH PATIENTS; MEDICAL DEONTOLOGY; Hippocrate: Praenotiones; Galen; Hippocratic Corpus; Celus: De Medicina; PART SIX: ANATOMY; Celsus: de Medicina; Galen; Heseler, Curtius, Vesalius; Winslow; Notes.
