Class Description

Study devoted to major medical systems produced in ancient Mediterranean world: Greek, Arabic, and medieval/Latin. It follows their tradition from origin to Renaissance (including their linkages and intersections through translations); and compares these system(s) not only to reconstruct their genealogy, but also--if not above all--to possibly answer question of what makes medical system Greek, Arabic, or medieval. Non-Mediterranean traditions and systems (mostly Ayurvedic and Chinese) included as appropriate. Ancient texts read in English translation; knowledge of one or more original-source languages is advantage.
