Description
Galen's groundbreaking work on human faculties explores the intricacies of anatomy and physiology. Written by Claudius Galen, this influential treatise was instrumental in shaping Western medical science for over 1,300 years. Galen's theories, shaped by the prevailing humorism of his time, dominated medical thought until well into the 19th century. His experiments on nerve ligation remain significant to this day, shedding light on the complex relationship between the brain and muscle movement. This paperback edition presents Galen's seminal work in English, offering a unique insight into the evolution of medical understanding during antiquity.
