Inhaltsangabe
In his medical monograph On Melancholy, Rufus of Ephesus (fl. AD 100) combined medical and philosophical ideas: black bile is the cause for madness and depression, and a sign of intellectual genius. His notion of melancholy strongly influenced subsequent generations of physicians, and especially Galen, and dominated both the Middle Ages and the Renaissance.In the present volume the Greek, Latin and Arabic fragments of this work, lost in the original, have been collected, translated into English, and commented upon for the first time. In interpretative essays, leading scholars investigate the afterlife of this treatise in antiquity, the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, and the early modern period from the vantage points of history, philosophy, literature, art history, and psychiatry. With contributions by: Philip van der Eijk, Vivian Nutton, Peter E. Pormann, Thomas Rütten, Peter-Klaus Schuster, Simon Swain, Peter Toohey, Jörg Völlnagel

paperback. Zustand: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
