Description
Galen's foundational medical writings present a comprehensive understanding of human life and society. This collection includes three essential works that outline his theory of medicine, including On Temperaments, which explores the combination of elemental qualities to understand the structure and function of the body. The two related works, On Non-Uniform Distemperment and The Soul's Traits Depend on Bodily Temperament, delve into specific aspects of dyskrasia, a disturbance in the balance of these qualities. These treatises provide valuable insights into Galen's approach to medical practice and his understanding of human health. This edition presents three key works that showcase Galen's enduring influence on Western medicine.
