16 Απρ 2020 · Dioscorides has been rightly called a medical botanist: Galen complements that vast knowledge with an understanding of how and why the drugs work.

Abstract. After his early studies in Pergamum, where he was born in 129, Galen trained with the best physicians and philosophers in Smyrna, Corinth, and Alexandria before returning to his hometown, where he served as physician to the gladiators.
Galen is the most important medical writer in Graeco-Roman an-tiquity, and also extremely valuable for understanding Graeco-Roman thought and society in the second century AD.
Galen piled the books of all the writers on anatomy in front of him and challenged the audience to name a part of the body; Galen would then dissect it—using animals, not human cadavers—and show how his description differed from those of his predecessors.
The dates of Galen's first stay in Rome are crucial for the chronology of his whole life, since they can be closely tied to events well known from other literary, numismatic, and epigraphic evidence and thus fixed precisely.
The biography of Galen by G. Sarton, Galen of Pergamům (Lawrence, Kansas, 1954) and the preliminary notice by R. E. Siegel, Galens system of physiology and medicine (Basle, New York, 1968), pp. 4-18, are extremely unreliable guides.
