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 his own best advocate and his own worst enemy. This volume includes translations of five works, including one discovered only in 2005 and another preserved largely in Arabic. It tells us much of his life in Rome, his book collecting, and his views on education and ethics.
Galen Weston Jr is a successful Canadian businessman and a member of the prominent Weston family. He serves as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of George Weston Limited, as well as Chairman and President of Loblaw Companies Limited.
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.
