Reviews

'This book fills a large gap by investigating Greek and Roman ideas about anatomy from early Greece until late Antiquity together in their cultural and historical contexts. It combines a refreshingly critical attitude to the sources with a clear and elegant exposition of the development of early Western ideas about the structures and workings of the body.' Vivian Nutton, UCL 'exquisitely detailed' James Uden, The Times Literary Supplement '… a welcome addition to the literature on the social history of ancient medicine.' Chiara Cecconi, Bryn Mawr Classical Review
