Book Description Soft cover. Condition: New. 34 pages ; 25 cm. In this concise, yet lucid, account of medical history, Professor Vryonis offers a fascinating survey of the achievements (and shortcomings) of ancient medical schools -Egyptian, Hippocratic, Galenic, etc.-, and of the adoption and standardisation of ancient doctrines in Byzantine and Arab medical centres, until their introduction by way of Arab Africa and Spain into medieval Europe, and by way of Italy into Renaissance Europe, and their eventual replacement by modern scientific observation and practice.
