Cutting Words - Polemical Dimensions of Galen's Anatomical Experiments (Studies in Ancient Medicine)

Product Description
Luis Alejandro Salas book, Cutting Words: Polemical Dimensions of Galens Anatomical Experiments, examines Galens experimental writing. In four case studies, it argues that Galen exploits writing as a surrogate for live performance and, in some cases, an improvement upon it.
Review
"This book breaks new ground and in greater detail than other recent scholarship [...] Dr Salas sets a high standard for the wider survey of Galenic anatomy in general that is still needed, and for which he is eminently qualified." Vivian Nutton, Annals of Science, published online 25-2-2021.
